Gaza-based civil defence agency said that Israeli strikes attacks killed at least eight people and dozens wounded on Sunday, when the ceasefire was supposed to take effect, reports Al Jazeera.
Agency spokesperson Mahmud Bassal said three people were killed in northern Gaza and five in Gaza City, with 25 wounded.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has ordered the Israeli military not to begin the ceasefire in Gaza.
“The prime minister instructed the IDF that the ceasefire, which is supposed to go into effect at 8:30 am, will not begin until Israel has the list of released abductees that Hamas has pledged to provide,” Netanyahu’s office said in a statement on Sunday.
In a statement shortly afterwards, Hamas blamed the delay in handing over the names on “technical field reasons.” It said that it is committed to the ceasefire deal announced last week.
