The terror group Hamas has announced that it will postpone a planned release of more Israeli hostages, alleging that Israel has repeatedly violated a cease-fire agreement that had allowed other Israeli hostages to leave captivity in the Gaza Strip.
Abu Obeida, a spokesman for Hamas’s armed wing, said it had documented a series of Israeli cease-fire infractions over the past three weeks, including shelling and gunfire, blocked relief deliveries, and delays allowing the people of the Gaza Strip to return to the northern end of the territory.
