The Israeli military says it has struck more than 200 "terror targets" since the end of the ceasefire this morning – including in Khan Younins and Rafah in the south – with ground, air and naval units.

"The IDF struck areas booby-trapped with explosives, terror tunnel shafts, launch posts, and operational command centres designated by Hamas for use in the renewed fighting," the statement adds.

The IDF also reiterates its assertion that Hamas was responsible for violating the terms of the pause in fighting.

Earlier, Israel blamed Hamas for breaking the truce by failing to release all women and children hostages, as well as attacking Israel with rocket fire.
