Following a security meeting, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered immediate and powerful attacks on the Gaza Strip, where a ceasefire remains in effect. Netanyahu reportedly ordered"immediate and powerful airstrikes" on Gaza.

'HE ACCUSES HAMAS OF VIOLATING THE CEASE-FIRE'

The Israeli government was reportedly preparing to take counter-measures in Gaza, with the approval of the United States, accusing Hamas of violating the ceasefire.

Israel accuses Hamas of violating the ceasefire, claiming that the body handed over yesterday is the remains of Ofir Tzarfati, a captive whom the Israeli army found in the Gaza Strip in December 2023.

"US ADMINISTRATION INFORMED"

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a meeting with security officials to discuss steps to be taken in response to the alleged "ceasefire violation."

Speaking to Channel 13, an Israeli official said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the expansion of the"Yellow Line" occupied by the Israeli army in Gaza at a security consultation meeting he held today and informed the US administration.

 ISRAEL VIOLATED THE CEASE-FIRE AGREEMENT AT LEAST 125 TIMES

The government in Gaza reported that dozens of Palestinians were killed and hundreds injured in attacks in which the Israeli army violated the ceasefire and prisoner swap agreement in Gaza at least 125 times.

In a written statement released by the government media office in Gaza, it was noted that Israel continues to target the Gaza Strip with attacks that violate the ceasefire agreement.

The statement said,"Occupying Israel continues to systematically violate the ceasefire agreement. So much so that, since the day the ceasefire came into effect, 94 civilians have been martyred and 344 people have been injured as a result of over 125 violations by Israel."

The statement emphasized that Israel opened fire on civilians 52 times during this period, and that the Israeli army also crossed the route known as the"Yellow Line" and carried out ground attacks in different regions nine times.

The statement also noted that 55 airstrikes were carried out in Gaza during the ceasefire period and that Israel carried out 11 attacks to destroy civilian settlements, and that the Israeli army detained 21 Palestinians during this period.

The guarantor countries in the ceasefire and prisoner swap agreement reached between Hamas and Israel on October 10 acknowledged the difficulty of finding the remains of all the dead Israeli prisoners in Gaza, given the destruction Israel has inflicted there. According to figures released by the United Nations, Israel's two-year offensive in Gaza has left behind approximately 55 million tons of debris.

In addition, given Israel's strict blockade of Gaza, the lack of sufficient heavy machinery, roads and other infrastructure makes it difficult to reach the bodies of Israeli prisoners and the bodies of the estimated 10,000 Palestinians believed to be buried under the rubble.

The ceasefire and prisoner swap agreement reached between Israel and Hamas came into effect on October 10.

Following the Israeli army's withdrawal from the"yellow line" as specified in the agreement, it was announced that the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip came into effect at 12:00 on the same day.

Despite the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army continues its attacks on Palestinians under various pretexts.

Hamas had previously handed over 17 bodies to Israel as part of a ceasefire and prisoner swap agreement. Israel claimed that one of the bodies did not belong to any prisoner remaining in Gaza, and that one contained body parts belonging to a previously captured prisoner.

It was reported that the bodies of 13 Israeli prisoners were found in the Gaza Strip.

Israel has so far handed over the bodies of 195 Palestinians to Gaza authorities through the Red Cross without revealing their identities.

According to data from the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, only 72 of the bodies returned by Israel were identified.

Ismail al-Sawabite, the director of the government's media office in Gaza, said that the bodies provided by Israel showed signs of torture and close-range shooting, and that these findings were evidence of Israel carrying out"field executions" against Palestinian prisoners.
