Bin Gvir calls for resumption of army operations in Gaza

(MENAFN) Israel’s National Security Minister, Ben Gvir, has called for renewed military action in Gaza following reported violations of the ceasefire by Hamas earlier this month.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that militants in Rafah, southern Gaza, fired an anti-tank missile and opened fire on Israeli troops on Sunday. In response, Israel conducted several airstrikes targeting what it described as terror sites.

“I call on the prime minister to order the IDF to renew full-scale fighting in the Strip at full strength,” Gvir said in a statement. “The false belief that Hamas will change its ways, or will even abide by the agreement it signed, is proving...to be dangerous to our security. This Nazi terrorist organization must be destroyed completely and the sooner the better.”

Earlier in October, Israel and Hamas reached a tentative ceasefire under a 20-point peace plan proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump. The first phase of the agreement required Hamas to release all remaining Israeli hostages within 72 hours in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. By Monday, Hamas had freed the last 20 living captives and returned the remains of 12 others, citing difficulties in retrieving all bodies due to ongoing Israeli control and the devastation in Gaza.

Israel has accused Hamas of not fully returning the remains of 16 captives, while both sides continue to allege violations of the ceasefire.

Later on Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed the IDF “to take firm action against terror targets in the Gaza Strip,” according to a statement from his office, though it did not specify whether full-scale military operations would resume.

Hamas, meanwhile, reiterated its commitment to the ceasefire. Senior official Izzat al-Risheq accused the Israeli “occupation” of breaching the agreement and “seeking excuses for its crimes.” The group’s military wing denied responsibility for the Rafah incident, stating it had lost contact with factions in the area last March, adding, “We have no information about any incidents or clashes in Rafah, which is under [Israeli] occupation control.”
