Israel forces attacked in Gaza major ceasefire test

Date:

 

Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel Prime minister, is set to convene a security consultation on Sunday morning, including the defense minister and military chief.

This comes in the wake of alleged attack on Israeli forces in southern Gaza with the military carrying out airstrikes on the city of Rafah, the first major test of the US-brokered ceasefire.

According to CNN, the incident occurred beyond the Yellow Line – the initial Israeli withdrawal boundary outlined in the ceasefire agreement.

Hamas has yet to comment on the accusations but a senior official in the group, Izzat Al-Rishq, said shortly after on Telegram message.

The statement said the militants remain committed to the ceasefire agreement, and accused Israel of “fabricating weak pretexts to justify its crimes”.

But the Israeli source familiar with the matter said Israeli forces suffered casualties as a result of the attacks.
