Israel committed gross breach of ceasefire: Hamas

Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum warned Israel that it would suffer the consequences of its actions after carrying out airstrikes on Gaza in violation of the ceasefire.
 
The Israeli airstrikes targeted a number of areas including Khan Yunis.
 
Israel claimed that its airstrikes on Gaza were in response to a number of rockets fired by Hamas. However, the resistance group rejected the Israeli claim.
 
The Israeli army carried out the attack on Wednesday, shortly after a temporary ceasefire was extended for another five days.
 
The head of the Palestinian delegation to Cairo-based indirect ceasefire talks, Azzam al-Ahmad, had announced earlier that the ceasefire agreement had been reached “at the last minute.”
 
The extension was made after the expiration of a preliminary 72-hour ceasefire agreement between the two sides.
 
Israel launched the latest war against the blockaded Gaza Strip on July 8. Nearly 1,960 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have so far lost their lives and at least 10,100 have been injured in the Israeli war.
 
The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, has been launching retaliatory attacks against Israel.
 
Next month, a panel appointed by the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) will start investigating the crimes committed by Israel in its war on Gaza.
