Summary

• The fragile ceasefire in Gaza faced its first big test Sunday as an Israeli security official said the transfer of aid into the territory was halted “until further notice” after a Hamas ceasefire violation, and Israeli forces launched a wave of strikes.

• Gaza’s civil defence agency and hospitals said a series of Israeli airstrikes across the territory killed at least 45 people on Sunday, updating an earlier toll of 33, according to AFP.

• The Israeli military said it had struck dozens of Hamas targets across the Gaza Strip, as Israel and Hamas accused each other of violating the nine-day-old ceasefire.

• The Israeli military later said it had begun resuming enforcement of the Gaza ceasefire, signalling an end to strikes on the territory that it said were carried out in response to earlier attacks on its forces on Sunday.

• Hamas claimed to have located the body of another Israeli hostage, saying it intends to hand over the remains to Israel if “field conditions allow”. The group warned that continued airstrikes and shelling would make such transfers impossible. The IDF claims that Hamas withholding bodies of hostages violates the ceasefire agreement.

• Hamas dismissed a statement from the US state department that accused the group of planning an imminent attack in Gaza, calling the allegation “false” and “aligned with misleading Israeli propaganda”.

• The Israeli military said two soldiers were killed in combat in southern Gaza on Sunday, AFP reported.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair) is denouncing Israel for launching airstrikes on Gaza despite a shaky ceasefire.

“Since the start of the ceasefire, the Netanyahu regime has been itching to fully restart the genocide in Gaza,” Cair said in a statement. “The cruel and unnecessary mass bombing of civilians across Gaza constitutes a blatant violation of President Trump’s ceasefire agreement and a resumption of the genocide. President Trump must rein in the Israeli occupation forces and stop sending American weapons and American taxpayer dollars to fund Israel’s war machine.”
