The Israeli army said Wednesday it was striking Hamas targets throughout the Gaza Strip after militants opened fire toward an area where troops were operating in the territory’s south.

“This action constitutes a violation of the ceasefire agreement. No IDF (Israeli army) injuries were reported. In response, the IDF began striking Hamas terrorist targets across the Gaza Strip,” the military said in a statement.

Gaza’s civil defence agency told AFP that 11 people were killed in the strikes — six in Gaza City in the north and five in the southern Khan Yunis area.
