Israel at war, the 50th day. Palestinian media reports that in the last hour fighter jets have passed over the southern territories of the Gaza Strip - an area that, according to the agreement, is prohibited from flying. This is a signal to Hamas that Israel intends to cancel the ceasefire.
Israel's step comes after Hamas announced that the release of the hostages was postponed and that the 13 additional captives, who were supposed to cross over to Israel today, remained in their hands. This is about a five-hour delay in handing over the hostages to the Red Cross.
Israel sent a message to Hamas: If the captives are not released by midnight, the ceasefire will end," it was reported. Qatar, which is involved in the details of the deal, also sent a message to Hamas: "Enough with the games, it will harm you."
The military wing of Hamas claims this evening that it has decided to postpone the release of the hostages - until Israel "meets the terms of the agreement to bring humanitarian aid trucks into the northern Gaza Strip."
Meanwhile, in Israel, a discussion is being held with the involvement of senior political and security officials to decide what to do in the event of a violation of the agreement by Hamas. And now, as mentioned, they took an offensive step to signal the message.
