Israeli warplanes struck Gaza shortly after Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, ordered the military to carry out 'powerful strikes' in Gaza.
At least two people were killed and four wounded in a strike on a residential building in Gaza City, and an area close to al-Shifa hospital was also struck.
Netanyahu ordered the strikes after an emergency meeting to discuss what he called Hamas violations of the ceasefire, amid clamour for a return to the war by far-right figures in the Israeli government.
The order prompted Hamas to delay a planned handover of a hostage’s remains
