The Israeli armed services on sun said that it has resumed enforcing a ceasefire in Gaza followers dozens of strikes on islamic resistance movement targets before today.
"In accordance with the directive of the political echelon, and following a series of significant strikes in response to Hamas' violations, the IDF has begun the renewed enforcement of the ceasefire," the military said in a statement.
"The IDF will continue to uphold the ceasefire agreement and will respond firmly to any violation of it."
Gaza's civil defence agency, functioning under Hamas control, reported that at least 45 individuals have died across the territory due to Israeli strikes.
According to AFP, four hospitals in Gaza confirmed the toll of 45, saying they had received the dead and wounded.
The strikes began Sunday in response to what the Israeli military said in a statement had been a "blatant violation" of the ceasefire. Tel Aviv had also stopped aid shipments into the region.
