Hamas says it's delaying the release of Israeli hostages until further notice, accusing Israel of breaching the Gaza ceasefire agreement.
Hamas says violations include delaying the return of displaced persons to northern Gaza, targeting them with shelling and gunfire in various areas of the Strip, and failing to allow the entry of humanitarian aid in all its agreed-upon forms.
Israel calls the decision a complete violation of the ceasefire deal, which began last month.
In total, 17 Israeli hostages were still due to be released in the first phase of the ceasefire, eight of whom Israel says are dead.
Hundreds of Palestinian prisoners have been freed by Israel in exchange for the hostages released so far.
