STORYLINE:
Israel's foreign affairs spokesperson said Wednesday that it is committed to upholding the ceasefire with Hamas, despite heavy airstrikes across the Palestinian territory that killed 104 people, including 46 children, according to local health officials.

The strikes — the deadliest since the ceasefire was enacted on Oct. 10 — marked the most serious challenge to the tenuous truce to date.

Israel accused Hamas of violating the ceasefire by opening fire on troops and handing over body parts that Israel said were the partial remains of a hostage recovered earlier in the war.

“Hamas is responsible for the fire, Hamas is responsible for the violation, and in terms of the response, we said very clearly, we will respond to any violation,” said spokesperson Oren Marmorstein.

He said that the high death toll in Gaza is a result of Hamas using civilians as human shields, adding that the U.S. was informed about the operation and it was carried out in full coordination.

Marmorstein claimed that Hamas is violating the ceasefire because the militant group does not want to proceed to the second phase of the agreement, which calls for it to disarm.

“Hamas is trying to do everything possible to avoid this,” he said.

In response to the Israeli strikes, Hamas said that it would delay handing over the body of another hostage.
