Hamas said a civilian vehicle had been struck outside Gaza City and asserted it was a violation of the ceasefire that took effect on October 10.

Israel's assassination of a senior Hamas commander threatens the viability of the Gaza ceasefire, the chief negotiator of the militant group has said, calling on US President Donald Trump to demand Israel comply with the terms of the truce.

Hamas on Sunday, December 14 confirmed the killing of its senior commander Raed Saad in an Israeli attack in Gaza.
