A fragile ceasefire in Gaza is on the verge of collapse after Israel launched fresh airstrikes, closing crossings and leaving at least 51 Palestinians dead.
The escalation follows a "blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement" by Hamas, according to the Israel Defense Forces. Hamas fighters were accused of killing two Israeli occupation troops and wounding three others in Rafah on Sunday morning.
The Israel Defense Forces said it has "now begun a wave of strikes" in southern Gaza "following a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement" by Hamas.
The strikes come just days after a separate incident in which Israeli forces killed 11 members of a Palestinian family attempting to return home during the truce.
