Israeli army claims Hamas fired on troops in Gaza, says it responded with air strikes
On X, the army says that, earlier today, gunmen fired at its forces in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, and that there were no casualties.
“In response, the [Israeli army], led by the Southern Command, under the direction of the Shin Bet and through the Air Force, began attacking targets” throughout the Gaza Strip, it said.
Today marked a sharp escalation in Israeli violations of the ceasefire, with at least 10 Palestinians killed, including a woman and a child.
Hamas has yet to comment on Israel’s claims.
