Bangla Press Desk: Gaza government accused Israeli army of killing 97 Palestinians since the ceasefire took effect on 10 October.
It also said that the Israeli army attack injured 230 Gazans, Al-Jazeera reports.
In a statement, the Gaza Government Media Office said the “Israeli occupation committed 80 documented violations since the declaration of the ceasefire, in flagrant breach of international humanitarian law.”
It noted that the violations included direct gunfire at civilians, shelling, deliberate targeting, the creation of “fire belts” and the arrest of civilians, reports Anadolu Agancy.
AFP reports that Israel carried out dozens of strikes on Hamas positions in southern Gaza Sunday came after it accused the militant group of targeting its troops in "a blatant violation" of the nine-day-old truce.
The AP is quoting an unnamed Egyptian official involved in the ceasefire agreement process as saying that “round-the-clock” contacts took place overnight with officials on both sides to de-escalate the situation after Israel unleashed a wave of air raids on Gaza yesterday, blaming Hamas for violating the agreement by firing on its soldiers.
According to Al-Jazeera, Hamas denied targeting Israeli soldiers in southern Gaza. This article was originally published on the Daily Sun.
