Hamas asserts that the organization has no connection to the incident in Rafah in which IDF troops came under fire, adding that it is committed to the current ceasefire.
The statement adds that “the criminal assault by the occupation army in several areas of Gaza constitutes a serious violation of the ceasefire agreement… the attack is a continuation of a series of violations in recent days.”
The Palestinian terror group demands that the mediators pressure Israel to stop the “dangerous violations.”
Israel has accused Hamas of a series of truce violations, including the attack in Rafah, the extended delay in the return of hostages’ bodies, and the staging of the recovery of a hostage’s body yesterday.
