ISRAEL fired more rockets at Palestine yesterday, denying a ceasefire had been agreed with Hamas.

Tel Aviv claimed to have hit “25 Hamas targets” after it unleashed a barrage of rockets on the Gaza Strip in the early hours of yesterday morning.

It claimed to be responding to mortar fire from Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

However Hamas official Khalil al-Hayya said that a ceasefire agreement had been reached with Palestinian groups as long as Israel ends hostilities.

“An agreement was reached to return to the [2014] ceasefire understandings in the Gaza Strip. The resistance factions will abide by it as long as the occupation does the same,” he said in a statement.

Israeli aggression has flared along the Gaza border over the past two months with hundreds of unarmed protestors shot dead and thousands more injured during the Great Return March demonstrations.

The United Nations is set to investigate possible war crimes committed by Tel Aviv with worldwide condemnation of their “disproportionate use of force.”

Hamas said the rockets fired from Gaza were made within the “framework of the natural right to defend our people.”
