Israeli forces have launched air strikes on Gaza , according to reports, after what they described as a “blatant violation” of the ceasefire by Hamas.

It is understood the Israeli military are carrying out the airstrikes in Rafah, southern Gaza following exchanges of fire between the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) and Palestinian militants from Hamas.

The renewed strikes throw the already fragile ceasefire into precarious territory.

An Israeli military official said on Sunday that Hamas militants had carried out multiple attacks against Israeli troops beyond the yellow line buffer zone – which marks territory still under Israel’s control – including a rocket-propelled grenade and sniper fire, calling it a “blatant violation” of the ceasefire.
