Israel says it will carry out what it calls “intense strikes” on Hamas in response to what it claims are repeated violations of the Trump-brokered Gaza ceasefire plan.
Israel has accused Hamas of firing on its forces occupying part of the Gaza Strip as well as what it says was “a deliberate deception plot”.
Last night Hamas handed over what it said were the remains of another Israeli hostage. But Israel says forensic tests showed they belong to a body already recovered from Gaza two years ago.
Drone footage taken by the IDF appears to show a body being taken out of a building in Gaza, placed in a shroud in a shallow grave then covered in soil. Israel says Hamas then carried out a fake excavation.
Hamas did not immediately comment on the drone footage but says it is postponing a planned handover of another dead hostage due to the Israeli strikes. It says Israel is to blame for the delay in handovers by impeding the excavation work needed to recover the bodies.
