ISRAELI OCCUPIED AND STARVED GAZA, 20 Oct. - (ANA) - The Israeli military reportedly killed at least 45 Palestinians in Gaza on Sunday after it launched attacks across the territory in violation of the ceasefire.

 

The strikes came after the Israeli government claimed that Hamas had attacked Israeli troops in an Israel-occupied area of southern Gaza.

 

Hamas denied knowledge of the attacks and said it was committed to upholding the terms of the truce. One official accused Israel of searching for a "pretext" to relaunch its war on the territory.

 

Meanwhile, the group's armed wing announced in the afternoon it had located the body of another deceased captive and said it would hand it over to Israel later on Sunday.

 

This came hours after Hamas handed over another two bodies of deceased Israeli captives on Saturday.

 

One was identified as Ronen Engel, who was captured from Kibbutz Nir Oz on 7 October 2023. The second was later confirmed to be Thai agricultural worker Sonthaya Oakkharasri.   - (ANA) -
