Israel and Hamas accuse each other of violating the truce, which came into effect on October 10 after two years of war.
The exchanges of fire continue daily. On February 15, the Civil Defense reported that Israeli attacks caused 12 deaths in Gaza.
The Israeli army then explained that it had identified “several armed terrorists taking refuge under the rubble” and that he had responded to a “flagrant violation” of the ceasefire.
The Ministry of Health of Loopwhich also answers to the authority of Hamas, previously said that at least 601 people have been killed since the truce began.
The Israeli army claims that at least four of its soldiers have died in the same period.
Media restrictions and limited access to Gaza have prevented AFP from independently verifying casualty figures or freely covering the fighting.
