Gaza's Government Media Office yesterday accused Israel of committing 125 ceasefire violations since the truce took effect on October 10, claiming 94 Palestinians have been killed.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, meanwhile, accused Hamas of a “clear violation” of the US-brokered deal after the group allegedly returned the remains of a hostage already recovered two years ago.
