Israeli strikes violate Gaza ceasefire again, killing 18

At least 18 people have been killed in Israeli strikes in the besieged Palestinian territory of Gaza. The strikes were carried out on the orders of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in various parts of Gaza. The strikes were carried out on the orders of Netanyahu after an Israeli soldier was injured in a gun attack in Rafah on Tuesday (October 28). Al Jazeera reported this information in a report today (October 29).
Meanwhile, Hamas’ armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, accused Israel of violating the ceasefire. At the same time, Hamas announced that it would postpone the handover of the body of a missing prisoner. At the same time, it warned that any major provocation by Israel would hinder the recovery of the bodies in Gaza and delay the rescue of the remaining 13 hostages.
However, despite the Israeli attacks, US Vice President J.D. Vance insisted that the ceasefire was still in place. He told reporters in Washington, DC, that there could be minor clashes. “We know that someone in Gaza has hit an [Israeli] soldier. We expect Israel to respond, but I think the peace will be stable.”
Meanwhile, Hamas has denied any involvement in the Rafah incident. Gaza’s state media office said that Israel has killed at least 94 Palestinians since the ceasefire began and that emergency aid deliveries are being severely restricted.
In a statement, Hamas called the Israeli attack a clear violation of the ceasefire, demanded an end to the aggression and said it was adhering to the agreement. Hamas leader Suhail al-Hindi told Al Jazeera that they were experiencing some difficulties in recovering the bodies and that Israel was responsible for the delay in recovering the remaining bodies.
