The Israeli military reportedly killed at least 45 Palestinians in Gaza on Sunday after it launched attacks across the territory in violation of the ceasefire.
The strikes came after the Israeli government claimed that Hamas had attacked Israeli troops in an Israel-occupied area of southern Gaza.
Hamas denied knowledge of the attacks and said it was committed to upholding the terms of the truce. One official accused Israel of searching for a "pretext" to relaunch its war on the territory.
Meanwhile, the group's armed wing announced in the afternoon it had located the body of another deceased captive and said it would hand it over to Israel later on Sunday.
This came hours after Hamas handed over another two bodies of deceased Israeli captives on Saturday.
One was identified as Ronen Engel, who was captured from Kibbutz Nir Oz on 7 October 2023. The second was later confirmed to be Thai agricultural worker Sonthaya Oakkharasri.
Gaza Media Office: 97 killed by Israel since ceasefire
A statement posted on Telegram by the Gaza Media Office has said the Israeli army has committed 80 violations since 10 October, killing 97 people and injuring another 230.
The office described the attacks as "flagrant and clear violations of the ceasefire agreement and the principles of international humanitarian law".
It added that these violations have been documented across all governorates of Gaza without exception.
Hamas delegation arrives in Cairo amid Israeli strikes
A senior Hamas delegation arrived in Cairo on Sunday to discuss the implementation of the ceasefire agreement signed earlier this month in Sharm el-Sheikh, even as Israel launched new airstrikes across the Gaza Strip, accusing Hamas of breaking the truce.
In a statement, Hamas said that "a delegation from the leadership of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, headed by Khalil al-Hayya, has arrived in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, to follow up on the implementation of the ceasefire agreement with mediators, factions, and Palestinian forces".
The agreement, brokered on 9 October under the framework of US President Donald Trump’s plan to end the war in Gaza, appears increasingly fragile as both sides trade accusations of violations.
Gaza death toll rises to 45 after Israeli strikes
Gaza's civil defence agency and hospitals said a series of Israeli air strikes across the territory killed at least 45 people on Sunday, updating an earlier toll of 33.
The Israeli military said it had struck dozens of Hamas targets across the Gaza Strip, as both Israel and Hamas accused each other of violating the nine-day-old ceasefire brokered by US President Donald Trump.
"At least 45 people were killed as a result of Israeli air strikes on various areas of the Gaza Strip," Mahmud Bassal, spokesman for the civil defence agency, which operates as a rescue service under Hamas authority, told AFP.
Four hospitals in Gaza confirmed the death toll to AFP, saying they had received the dead and wounded.
