Israeli forces carried out attacks inside Gaza on Tuesday night, killing at least a hundred people, according to Gaza health officials. The strikes came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered a “powerful response” to what he called a breach of the ceasefire agreement by Hamas. Netanyahu said the group killed an Israeli soldier and is deliberately delaying handing over the remains of Israeli hostages. Hamas denied the accusations, saying that the attackers are not under its control and that the remains are difficult and time consuming to collect given the conditions on the ground in Gaza.
