The Israeli army command announced the resumption of military operations in the Gaza Strip. Israeli authorities blame Hamas for breaking the truce.
As reported by the Israeli leadership, Palestinians did not provide new lists of hostages, who were supposed to be exchanged during a temporary truce, and also opened fire on Israel.
A temporary truce between Israel and Hamas has been in effect since 24 November, Thanks to the cessation of hostilities, it was possible to exchange more than two hundred persons held by the parties to the armed conflict.
Hamas officials report renewed Israeli air attacks in the southern Gaza Strip, as well as artillery shelling northwest of the administrative center of the Palestinian enclave.
Earlier it was reported about the outbreak of hostilities in the Palestinian city of Jenin, located in the West Bank. Israeli army units were introduced into the territory of the settlement with the support of armored vehicles.
Armed resistance to the IDF is provided by local armed groups of residents of the region, loyal to the group “Palestinian Islamic Jihad”. Besides, Palestinian protests continue in the city, demanding an end to Tel Aviv's military aggression against the population of the Gaza Strip.
In this way, the region is not only witnessing a resumption of active hostilities, but also the expansion of their geography to the West Bank. used photos:Israeli Ministry of Defense
