Hamas says it has halted the transfer of bodies of deceased hostages, citing ceasefire violations by Israel
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday ordered a new round of "immediate and powerful strikes" on Gaza. The announcement was made shortly after Israeli troops allegedly came under attack in the south of the Palestinian enclave.
Right on the heels of Netanyahu's order, Hamas said it would "postpone" the handover of the body of another deceased Israeli hostage "scheduled for today, due to violations by the occupation." According to the Palestinian militant group, the body was recovered earlier in the day "during search operations in one of the tunnels south of the Gaza Strip."
