"The Israeli military said on Wednesday it struck targets throughout the Gaza Strip, a little over a month after a shaky US-brokered truce came into effect. It accused Hamas militants of a ceasefire violation, saying they had opened fire at an area where Israeli troops were operating in the south of the enclave. The AFP news agency cited Gaza's civil defense agency as saying that 22 people were killed in the strikes."
"Twelve fatalities were reported in northern areas near Gaza City, which was the Palestinian territory's largest urban center before the war began in October 2023 following Hamas' attack in Israel, and 10 fatalities in the city of Khan Younis in the south. This was up from a previously reported death toll of 11. Meanwhile, Reuters cited health authorities as saying that 10 people had been killed in total."
"Under the terms of the agreement, the Israeli military is to withdraw beyond a point referred to as the "yellow line" until the deployment of an international "stabilization force," after which Israel would withdraw further. The Israeli military said that the Wednesday ceasefire violation, which it attributed to Hamas, occurred beyond the yellow line. Reuters cited medics, witnesses and Palestinian media as saying that the Israeli strikes occurred deep within areas Israeli forces were to withdraw from under the truce."
A US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas came into effect on October 10. Israeli forces struck targets across the Gaza Strip and accused Hamas of opening fire at an area where Israeli troops were operating in the south. Gaza's civil defense agency reported 22 people killed in the strikes, with some strikes hitting Khan Younis. Twelve fatalities were reported near Gaza City and ten in Khan Younis, while Reuters cited health authorities saying ten people were killed in total. The truce requires Israeli withdrawal beyond a defined 'yellow line' pending an international stabilization force, but witnesses said strikes occurred deep within withdrawal areas. The UN Security Council voted to support a US-backed peace plan to end the war.
