Hamas denies reports it informed mediators of end to ceasefire

Nurit Yohanan is The Times of Israel's Palestinian and Arab world correspondent

Hamas spokesman Izzat al-Rishq says there is no truth to earlier media reports claiming Hamas informed the US that the ceasefire has ended.

Al-Rishq also says in a statement issued on his behalf that they are demanding the mediators pressure Israel to publish the identity of an alleged Hamas gunman.

This apparently refers to the assailant whom the IDF said yesterday had opened fire at IDF forces while driving along a humanitarian route in the southern Gaza Strip, and was killed.

He adds that Hamas has asked the mediators to intervene and compel Israel to uphold the ceasefire agreement.
