&imwidth=800&imheight=600&format=webp&quality=medium "Israel launches multiple strikes on Gaza hours after Netanyahu warns ‘heavy price' against Hamas strike")
Just weeks after a peace deal was brokered between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the region's civil defence said on Tuesday (Oct 28) that the IDF launched at least three air strikes on the Palestinian territory. It came shortly after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the military to conduct further attacks.
"The occupation is now bombing Gaza with at least three air strikes despite the ceasefire agreement", Mahmud Bassal, spokesman for the agency, told AFP.
Meanwhile, Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz said that Hamas attacked its troops despite an ongoing ceasefire in Gaza, and vowed the group would "pay a heavy price".
"The terrorist organisation Hamas will pay a heavy price for attacking IDF soldiers in Gaza and for violating the agreement to return the bodies of the hostages. Hamas's attack today on IDF soldiers in Gaza is a crossing of a bright red line, to which the IDF will respond with great force," Katz said in a statement released by his office.
This came following accusations that Hamas has violated the ceasefire brokered by US President Donald Trump. Minutes later, Hamas said that it was postponing the hostage body handover due to Israeli truce ‘violations’.
“Following security consultations, Prime Minister Netanyahu instructed the military to immediately carry out powerful strikes in the Gaza Strip,” a statement from his office said.

Israel’s military has also accused the Palestinian militant group of faking a search for the remains of a Gaza hostage’s body.
“Yesterday (Monday) Hamas operatives were documented removing body remains from a structure that had been prepared in advance and burying them nearby,” the military said in a statement, attaching drone footage which it said showed the act.
Israel accuses Hamas of ‘clear violation of agreement’
On late Monday (Oct 27), Hamas handed over what it said was the 16th of 28 hostage bodies to Israel as part of the ceasefire deal, which came into effect on October 10. However, Israeli forensic examination revealed that the Palestinian group had handed over partial remains of a hostage whose body had already been brought back around two years ago. Following this, Netanyahu’s office and a campaign group representing hostage families accused Hamas of breaching the ceasefire.
