Gaza, Oct. 30 (Xinhua) — Palestinian Hamas movement said on Wednesday it was committed to the ceasefire agreement and accused Israel of violating it.
In a press statement, Hamas said Israel's recent strikes on Gaza demonstrate its "intent to undermine the ceasefire agreement and impose new realities by force, with the complicity of the US administration."
The statement comes amid mutual accusations between Israel and Hamas of violating the ceasefire in recent days.
Israel said Tuesday that remains handed over to Hamas on Monday evening belong to a hostage whose body was found by the Israeli army about two years ago.
A Hamas source later said Israel had denied representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross and Palestinian factions entry into eastern Gaza City to search for the remains of Israeli hostages.
Israel's state-run Army Radio then reported that Israeli forces had struck the city of Rafah in the southern enclave. This occurred after Hamas fired at Israeli soldiers, killing one. The movement denied any involvement in the incident.
Shortly after, Israel began launching further strikes on Gaza at the direction of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after Israel said Hamas violated a ceasefire.
The overnight strikes killed 104 Palestinians, including 46 children and 20 women, Gaza health authorities said on Wednesday.
In response, Hamas accused Israel of violating the ceasefire and postponed the handover of the remains of the Israeli hostage, scheduled for Tuesday evening.
On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump declared that the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip was not in jeopardy. He said it was "permissible for Israel to retaliate" because one of its soldiers had been killed. The Israeli military later announced that it had "begun to resume the ceasefire" following the wave of airstrikes.
