Ceasefire prospects in Gaza remain uncertain as terrorist ‘israel’ conducts lethal airstrikes on the territory
The anticipated ceasefire agreement between the Palestinian group Hamas and Israel has yet to be implemented, as violent strikes by Israeli forces continue in the Gaza Strip.
The ceasefire agreement was slated to commence at 8:30 a.m. local time (06:30 GMT) on Sunday, aimed at concluding the 15-month conflict involving Israeli military operations in the embattled region.
The Israeli Defense Forces announced ongoing military operations in Gaza, citing the failure of Hamas to present a list of captives eligible for release under the terms of the ceasefire agreement.
In a televised announcement, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, the Israeli army spokesperson, declared that military operations in the Gaza region are ongoing. He stated that, following directives from the Prime Minister, a ceasefire will not be implemented until Hamas adheres to its obligations.
He reiterated a previous statement by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who instructed the occupying military forces not to proceed with the truce in Gaza until Hamas provides the list of names of the Israeli captives slated for release.
Hamas has attributed the postponement in providing the list of captives to “technical and operational reasons,” according to their statement.
The resistance group has reiterated its dedication to adhering to the ceasefire agreement, according to a statement released on Telegram.
On Sunday, Israeli fighter jets launched an airstrike on the al-Shuja’iyyah neighborhood of Gaza City, breaching the ceasefire agreement. The attack resulted in the deaths of three Palestinians and left 20 others injured.
Occupation forces have conducted artillery shelling in the eastern area of the al-Bureij camp located in the central Gaza Strip, according to reports. Additionally, similar strikes were launched in Khan Younis and Rafah situated in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
