Hamas accuses Israel of breaching ceasefire by ‘killing at least 24 people’ since Friday – as it happened
A senior Hamas official on Thursday accused Israel of flouting the ceasefire by having killed at least 24 people in shootings since Friday, and said a list of such violations was handed over to mediators, Reuters reports.
He said:
The occupying state is working day and night to undermine the agreement through its violations on the ground.
The Israeli military did not immediately respond to the Hamas accusations. It has previously said some Palestinians have ignored warnings not to approach Israeli ceasefire positions and troops “opened fire to remove the threat”.
Israel has been violating the agreement since the beginning, just like last time. They're looking for any excuse to resume full-scale bombing, especially now that people have returned to Gaza City.
Hamas has returned all living hostages and 1/3 of the dead ones in good faith, but can't return any more without heavy excavating equipment since there are ruins of entire buildings on top of them.
Israel will withhold that equipment and then say Hamas is in violation. This was likely their plan all along.
They don´t need to look for an excuse. Hamas is already saying they won´t disarm. So even if they return all the bodies, that alone means they´re in breach of the ´peace plan´ and Israel can go back in either way
Disarming was not part of the agreement.
The disarment was not in step one and hamas did mention that before returning the hostages so it is Israel who broke the deal like they always do
