U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Monday that Washington does not view a strike that Israel said targeted a member of a Palestinian militant group in Gaza as a violation of a U.S.-backed ceasefire.

The order came after the Israeli military said it was fired upon beyond the yellow truce line.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday ordered the Israeli military to carry out “immediate, powerful” strikes in Gaza after Israel accused Hamas of violating the US-brokered ceasefire deal and staging the discovery of a deceased hostage.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the Israel Defense Forces to strike Hamas in Gaza following an attack on IDF forces and lying about remains.

Hamas is in “clear violation” of the Gaza ceasefire agreement after returning remains to Israel that did not belong to any of the 13 hostages still unaccounted for in the enclave, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said Tuesday.

The office of the Israeli prime minister said Tuesday evening that he had ordered “forceful strikes,” accusing Hamas of firing on Israeli troops and failing to return hostages’ bodies.

Israel's military has begun striking the Gaza Strip again, as Israel and Hamas traded blame for violating the ceasefire brokered by President Trump.
