On October 28, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the army to immediately launch strikes on the Gaza Strip. This was stated by his office.

"After security consultations, Prime Minister Netanyahu ordered the military echelon to immediately launch heavy strikes on the Gaza Strip," the report said .

Earlier, Israel accused the Hamas terrorist organization of violating the ceasefire. 

Before that, Israel accused the Hamas terrorist organization of violating the ceasefire. For the third time, the militants handed over the remains of Israeli hostage Ophir Tsarfati, who was killed in captivity and whose body was found by Israeli forces in November 2023. In March 2024, his family received additional remains for burial. The Tsarfati family stated that this is the third time "we are forced to open Ophir's grave and rebury our son," reports AР.

This is the second time since the ceasefire that the remains handed over to Hamas have proved problematic. Israel said that one of the bodies handed over by the militants in the first week of the ceasefire belonged to an unknown Palestinian.

As reported by the Israel Defense Forces, on October 27, Hamas terrorists were caught removing the remains of hostages from a pre-prepared place and burying them nearby. Then they called the Red Cross and staged the "discovery" of the body.

"This video clearly shows that the Hamas terrorist organization is attempting to create the false impression of trying to recover bodies, while in fact holding hostages whose remains it refuses to release in accordance with the agreement," the IDF said .

Also, the Israeli side reported that Hamas opened fire on Israeli forces in southern Gaza, reports Sky news.

The office noted that Netanyahu will hold a meeting with the security forces to discuss Israel's response to these violations. 13 hostage bodies still remain in Gaza.
