Attacks were carried out in Rafah in response to alleged violations of the ceasefire

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Sunday said it carried out large-scale strikes against Hamas targets in Rafah in southern Gaza following alleged violations of the ceasefire reached earlier this month.

According to the IDF, militants on Sunday fired an anti-tank missile and gunfire toward troops operating to dismantle "terrorist infrastructure" in the area "in accordance with the ceasefire agreement." Israeli troops responded with several airstrikes on what it called terror targets.

"The IDF has begun striking in the area to eliminate the threat and dismantle tunnel shafts and military structures used for terrorist activity," the military said in a statement. It also claimed that several attacks by alleged Hamas militants took place on Friday and Saturday. "These terrorist actions constitute a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement, and the IDF will respond firmly."
