Tensions are rising in Gaza. Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered immediate strikes on the Strip , the Israeli Prime Minister's Office announced.

The decision comes after the firefights that took place today in Rafah , in the southern Gaza Strip, between Hamas militants and IDF soldiers . According to Haaretz, Hamas militants opened fire on IDF forces with snipers and anti-tank missiles, and Israeli soldiers responded with artillery fire. "A violation of the ceasefire brokered by Trump," Israel attacks .
But the accusations are mutual, as Hamas postponed the handover of the body of one of the hostages , which was scheduled for this evening, following what it called Israeli "violations" of the ceasefire. "We will postpone today's handover due to violations of the occupation," the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades said in a statement, adding that any "Israeli escalation will hinder the search and recovery of the bodies."
Hamas's announcement came minutes after Benjamin Netanyahu ordered intense attacks on the Strip.
