37 Gazans killed in new Israeli aggression despite ceasefire

The Israeli military has killed as many as 37 people, including 16 children, across the Gaza Strip in drastic violation of a ceasefire agreement with Hamas, despite the Palestinian resistance movement's insistence in close commitment to the deal.

The fatalities were caused on Tuesday, Gaza's hospital sources reported, identifying targets as residential homes.

Earlier, Gaza's civil defense agency had put the death toll at 30, with spokesman Mahmud Basal saying dozens of others had also been wounded in the attacks.

"Our crews are still working to recover the dead and wounded from under the rubble," he had told AFP.

The victims perished after Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered "immediate, powerful" strikes on Gaza amid accusations by Israeli authorities of Hamas' targeting Israeli troops in Rafah in the coastal sliver's southern region.

The group, however, roundly rejected any involvement, saying the regime was trying deliberately to violate the terms of the agreement and was "make it fail."

Earlier too, the movement had reported that the Israeli military was intentionally preventing recovery and transfer of the remains of the regime's captives, as it has been agreed in the deal, calling out Tel Aviv's "systematic obstruction."

Hamas has also lambasted Tel Aviv's continued closure of the Rafah crossing in southern Gaza, which is the territory's lifeline, as another instance of the regime's refusing to keep its end of the bargain.

The deal was reached in Egypt earlier this month with the aim of implementing the first phase of a 20-point plan forwarded by Donald Trump. The US president says the proposal is aimed at ending the regime's two-year-plus war of genocide on Gaza.

The movement has on numerous occasions pledged sustained commitment to the agreement as part of which it vowed to return the living and dead Israeli captives and hand over Gaza's administration to a Palestinian body.

Trump, meanwhile, backed, what he called, the regime's "right to respond," warning the group of "termination" if it "does not behave."

He also echoed claims by Vice President JD Vance, who had said the ceasefire was "holding," apparently dismissing widespread reports of deadly Israeli violations.
