Hamas says Israeli Rafah attack violates ceasefire

Hamas has issued a statement condemning the "treacherous" drone attack that killed three police officers in Rafah city as "a serious violation of the ceasefire agreement".

The officers were hit while securing the entry of aid trucks through the Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossing.

Hamas added that Israel's refusal to allow the entry of heavy machinery into the strip also breaches the terms of the agreement, saying that Israel's stalling of the second phase of the talks confirm its lack of commitment to the truce.
