Israeli military hits Gaza with more attacks despite ceasefire
Al Jazeera Arabic is reporting that the Israeli military has launched three air attacks on buildings in the east of Khan Younis, southern Gaza. Meanwhile, Israeli drones have struck the vicinity of camps for displaced people near the Shujayea junction, Gaza City, Al Jazeera Arabic reports.
Israel has continued to periodically attack Gaza since the ceasefire with Hamas was signed on October 11, often claiming that it is striking Palestinian groups planning attacks.
However, Hamas has said the Israeli attacks are “clear” violations of the ceasefire agreement that are killing civilians and has accused Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu of attempting to sabotage the US-led peace plan.

Rubio defends Israel’s Saturday attack in Gaza, says not violation of ceasefire
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said Washington is OK with an Israeli attack on Gaza on Saturday that Israel claims targeted an Islamic Jihad member plotting an attack.
“We don’t view that as a violation of the ceasefire,” said Rubio, speaking on board Trump’s plane during a trip to Asia. “They have the right if there’s an imminent threat to Israel, and all the mediators agree with that,” he claimed.
Islamic Jihad, the second largest armed group in Gaza, denied planning an attack.
Even after the Gaza ceasefire came into effect on October 10, Israel has carried out repeated attacks, killing about 100 Palestinians in the enclave, according to the Gaza Government Media Office.
The ceasefire calls for an end to hostilities by both Israel and Hamas.
Israel only has to claim they're assassinating an 'imminent' threat. Works for Lebanon 'ceasefire'... That's what happens when the guarantors of the ceasefire are those complicit in the genocide.
There is no 'ceasefire', merely a rebranding of the genocide, continuing at a lower pace.
