TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) The fragile ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war was tested Tuesday as the slower-than-hoped return of deceased hostages from Gaza prompted an Israeli military agency to declare a violation of the truce agreement that it would respond to by halving the number of trucks allowed to bring humanitarian aid into the devastated territory.

Hamas has known since this latest round of war began that Israel would be relentless in demanding the return of every single hostage dead or alive. I dont believe them at all that they cant locate them.
Only reason for this shitty maneuver is that Hamas wants to resume the battle imo

As someone mentioned above, there are no good faith actors involved & that parade MAGA threw over the "historic" agreement was idiotically premature.
