#Netanyahu orders Israeli army to carry out 'powerful' strikes in #Gaza
#Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday he has ordered the army to immediately carry out “powerful strikes” in Gaza, a new test for the tenuous US brokered #ceasefire.
The order from Netanyahu follows heightened tensions, as Israel reported #Hamas firing on its forces in southern Gaza & after Hamas returned a set of remains that Israel said belonged to a hostage recovered earlier in the war.
#Netanyahu called the return a “clear violation” of the #ceasefire agreement, which requires #Hamas to return all Israeli hostage remains as soon as possible.
In a sign of the fragility of the ceasefire, #Israel troops were shot at in the southern city of #Rafah on Tuesday & returned fire, according to an Israeli military official….
There are still 13 bodies of #hostages in #Gaza. Hamas said Tuesday it has recovered the body of a hostage that it plans to hand over this evening.
