Gaza Ceasefire Tested as Israel and Hamas Exchange Fire and Blame
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered immediate "powerful" strikes in Gaza.
Netanyahu said he has ordered the army to carry out "powerful strikes" in Gaza, and Hamas responded by delaying handing over the body of a hostage, putting new pressure on the ceasefire.
The order follows heightened tensions, as Israel reported Hamas firing on its forces in southern Gaza and 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.
