The ceasefire in the Gaza Strip has been violated. The Israeli army has launched a wave of attacks in the south of the Palestinian enclave. The attacks, as reported, were aimed at Hamas targets, and came, according to Tel Aviv, after the Palestinian organization carried out an attack on Israeli forces.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the army and security services to take decisive measures against Hamas.
Our special correspondent Muhammad Asad reports from the Gaza Strip:
As part of maintaining order, Sahem units and security forces belonging to the Hamas movement, or rather, the Gaza Strip government, carried out a surprise operation. The target was Yasser Abu Shabab, who participated with his group in kidnappings and attacks on citizens, and was supported by Israeli occupation forces in the Rafah area.
An Israeli vehicle defending them appears to have been hit by gunfire from the attackers. An explosion occurred inside the vehicle, killing Israeli soldiers. The Israeli army immediately launched an attack. A cafe on the coast in central Gaza was bombed. According to witnesses, there were women and children in the cafe.
The attack was direct, and the scenes were horrific. Blood and bodies were scattered everywhere. The injured were taken to Al-Aqsa Hospital and the American hospital on the coast. The place was completely destroyed. It seems to be a civilian resort.
The Israeli army began to intensively attack different parts of the Gaza Strip. Therefore, one cannot speak of a real truce or a complete ceasefire. The development of the situation regarding the handover of bodies and the obstacles set up by the Israeli side is being monitored, because it is clear that Israel is constantly creating new barriers.
All this is slowing down the implementation of the agreement reached in Sharm el-Sheikh, which should be implemented gradually, but Israel is constantly inventing excuses and complications in order to continue the attacks and maintain control over the Gaza Strip, Federalna writes.
