- Hamas accuses 'Israel' of committing massacres by striking tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
- The movement says the attacks send a message that efforts to sustain the truce have no weight.
Hamas said on Thursday that 'Israel' is continuing massacres against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, with recent strikes hitting tents sheltering displaced families in a serious breach of the ceasefire.
In a statement, Hamas said the attacks amount to a dangerous violation that undermines commitments made under the truce and threatens to collapse efforts to maintain calm.
Claims of ceasefire violations
Hamas said the targeting of makeshift camps for the displaced reflects an attempt to impose “bloody facts on the ground,” adding that the actions convey a message that international and regional mediation efforts carry no weight.

The group said civilians, including women and children, were among the martyrs, though it did not provide an immediate casualty toll. Independent verification of the claims was not immediately available.
Impact on mediation efforts
According to the statement, the strikes risk derailing attempts to sustain the truce and could trigger wider escalation. Hamas urged mediators to intervene and hold 'Israel' accountable for what it called repeated violations.
