Hamas’s military wing announces it is postponing the return of a hostage’s body that had been scheduled for 8 p.m. tonight.
In its statement, Hamas says the move is in response to “violations of the ceasefire agreement by the occupation.”
Earlier, Hamas announced it would hand over the body of a hostage recovered from one of the tunnels today.
But Israel has ordered the resumption of strikes in Gaza after terror operatives fired at IDF troops, in violation of the current ceasefire.
