Meanwhile, the Gazan Civil Defence said that artillery shelling targeted eastern Khan Younis in southern Gaza, stating that "Artillery shelling and gunfire from Israeli tanks targeted the border areas of the town of Abasan Al-Kabira, east of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip."
The occupation army has killed 100 Palestinians and injured 820 others in the Gaza Strip since the ceasefire agreement went into effect on 19 January 2024, according to head of the governmental press office Salamah Ma'arouf.
'Israel' halts humanitarian aid to Gaza
Hamas stated earlier today that "Netanyahu's decision to halt humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip is a cheap act of blackmail, a war crime, and a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement and prisoner exchange."
This followed an announcement by the Israeli government to halt all humanitarian aid coming into Gaza and close all border crossings "until further notice", noting that "Israel will not allow a ceasefire without the release of all hostages, and if Hamas continues to refuse, there will be further consequences."
While Hamas underscored the significance of progressing to the second phase of the ceasefire agreement, "Israel," after the failure of negotiations to yield results, announced its acceptance of an American proposal aimed at extending the current phase of the ceasefire until mid-April.
