Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday ordered the military to carry out intense strikes on the Gaza Strip, after accusing Hamas of violating the US-brokered ceasefire.
"Following security consultations, Prime Minister Netanyahu instructed the military to immediately carry out powerful strikes in the Gaza Strip," a statement from his office said.
Since the truce began on October 10, sporadic deadly incidents have continued, with dozens of Palestinians killed by the Israeli attacks.
A ceasefire agreement has been in place in Gaza since Oct. 10 under US President Donald Trump's 20-point plan.
