Hamas accuses Israel of violating Gaza ceasefire under 'fabricated pretexts'

Hamas has condemned the latest Israeli violations in Gaza, holding mediators and US President Donald Trump’s administration responsible for undermining the truce deal.

In a statement on Saturday, the movement accused Tel Aviv of violating the ceasefire and killing hundreds under “fabricated pretexts”.

"These violations have also led to changes in the occupation army's withdrawal lines, contradicting the agreed-upon maps."

Hamas urged mediators to "intervene urgently and exert pressure" on Israel immediately, adding that it affirms its "rejection of all attempts by the war criminal [Benjamin Netanyahu's] government to impose a fait accompli that contradicts what was agreed upon".

Israel has committed numerous violations of the ceasefire agreement in the besieged enclave. 

The Palestinian health ministry reported that 318 people have been killed since the truce came into effect last month, with a further 788 wounded.
