Israel and Hamas accuse each other of violating the ceasefire agreement

# Both Israel and Hamas have accused each other of violating the US-brokered ceasefire agreement. The Israeli Defence Force says Hamas attacked its forces in Rafah in southern Gaza with rocket-propelled grenades and sniper fire, prompting the IDF to carry out strikes in the area. Israel has also halted humanitarian aid to Gaza. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed the military to act forcefully against terrorist targets in the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, Hamas says it remains committed to the ceasefire agreement.
