Israeli air strikes targeted Rafah and Khan Younis in southern Gaza, according to local media, as Israel and Hamas continued to accuse each other of violating the U.S.-brokered ceasefire.
Israeli broadcaster Kan reported air strikes on Rafah, though there was no immediate comment from either the Israeli military or Hamas.
The military earlier said it had targeted “terrorists” approaching troops in Khan Younis and would continue operations to remove what it called “immediate threats.”
Ceasefire dispute and Rafah closure
The Rafah border crossing, Gaza’s main link to Egypt and the outside world, remains closed after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it would not reopen until Hamas hands over the remaining bodies of deceased hostages.
The decision came just hours after the Palestinian embassy in Egypt announced plans to reopen the crossing for limited entry into Gaza. The move was later blocked by Israel, reigniting tensions over the fragile truce.
Hamas accused Israel of violating the U.S.-brokered agreement and warned that the continued closure would delay the recovery and transfer of hostage bodies still buried under rubble.
The Rafah crossing has largely been shut since May 2024, only briefly reopened for humanitarian aid during temporary ceasefires. Its closure has left thousands of tonnes of food, fuel, and medical supplies stranded on the Egyptian side, deepening Gaza’s humanitarian crisis as famine warnings persist.
