Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the military to carry out “powerful” strikes on Gaza, his office said Monday night. The decision came after Israel accused Hamas of violating a two-week-old ceasefire by handing over a coffin that did not contain the body of an Israeli hostage. Israel called it a “deception plot” and said Hamas fired on its troops in Gaza. Hamas denied the claims, accusing Israel of fabricating excuses for new attacks. It said ongoing Israeli strikes are blocking efforts to recover bodies and urged mediators to ensure humanitarian work continues safely in the Strip. (PC: BBC)
