Israel accused Hamas on Sunday of violating the ceasefire by carrying out attacks on its forces in Gaza, while Hamas accused Israel of working to “fabricate flimsy pretexts” for its own actions.

An Israeli military official confirms it has carried out air strikes in Rafah, southern Gaza, accusing Hamas of attacks in a "bold violation of the ceasefire".

Hamas said it remained committed to the ceasefire agreement and to handing over the bodies of all remaining hostages, but that this process may take time.

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said early on Sunday identification of Engel’s remains had been completed. The government said it “shares in the deep sorrow of the Engel family and all the families of the fallen hostages.” Israel later confirmed Akrasi’s identity.

Hamas released the body of another hostage to Israel on Friday as it continued to search for the remains of others in Gaza.
