Violence Erupts in Gaza After Ceasefire Agreement
Seven people were killed as the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) opened fire, allegedly due to a "violation of ceasefire agreement", in the Gaza Strip.
Under the first phase of the US-brokered peace deal, the Israeli military will maintain control of nearly 60% of the Palestinian territory.
According to authorities in Gaza, at least seven people were killed by Israeli gunfire in two separate incidents on Tuesday morning, less than 24 hours after the ceasefire took effect.
The IDF confirmed that its soldiers shot dead "suspects" in the Shejaiya neighbourhood of Gaza City.
The incidents occurred after Hamas freed 20 living Israeli hostages, while Israel sent more than 30 buses of prisoners back to Gaza.
