Gaza, the truce is already over. Netanyahu orders massive raids on the Strip.

Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered immediate raids on Gaza. The Israeli Prime Minister's Office announced this."Following security consultations, the prime minister ordered the army to immediately carry out powerful strikes on the Strip." Israel accuses Hamas of violating the US-brokered truce agreements by failing to comply with the demand to return the bodies of all hostages. According to Israel, the group yesterday returned the remains of an Israeli hostage who had already been rescued at the beginning of the war.

Palestinian media reported that five people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a car in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip. Four more victims were reported in attacks on Gaza City, bringing the total to nine. The Israeli military has not yet commented on this evening's attacks, which were launched in response to alleged violations of the ceasefire agreement by Hamas. Hamas claims to have found the body of another hostage in a tunnel in Khan Younis, in addition to the one it recovered earlier and was supposed to return today. The first body was supposed to be returned this evening, but the operation was canceled"due to Israel's violations of the ceasefire agreement." Hamas rejects the accusations, denies attacking Israeli troops in Gaza, and reaffirms its commitment to respecting the ceasefire. This is according to a statement in which the Islamic movement claims it has"no connection" to the shooting against the IDF in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip. This morning, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz accused Hamas of attacking Tel Aviv forces, without specifying the location of the incident.

• , a member of Hamas's political bureau in Gaza, told Al Jazeera that the group is facing"serious difficulties" in
recovering
• the bodies of Israeli prisoners and reiterated his call for resources to facilitate this process."Israel must realize that we are committed to the agreement and must stop falsely accusing us of violating it," he told al-Hindi, adding that Hamas had requested search teams enter the"red zones" to locate the bodies, a request that was refused."There is a tense situation in Gaza. I hope that in the end these are just signs, skirmishes, that are underway, and that Hamas will return all the bodies to Israel, which is the commitment it made when the Israeli army withdrew. I hope that Israel will also respect its commitments." This was stated by Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, commenting on the latest developments in the Strip with journalists in Nouakchott. At least three air strikes were launched by Israel against Gaza City, according to the Gaza Civil Defense, while local sources reported by international media reported that the attacks targeted an area near the largest hospital still operating in northern Gaza. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz says that Hamas"will pay dearly for today's attack on IDF soldiers in Rafah," southern Gaza, and for"the violations of the agreement" under which it was supposed to return the bodies of the hostages remaining in the Strip."The attack on IDF soldiers in Gaza by the terrorist organization Hamas crosses a clear red line, to which the IDF will respond with great force," Katz said in a statement."Hamas will pay again and again for attacking soldiers and violating the agreement to return the fallen hostages."
