Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Hamas's violation of the ceasefire and its subsequent restoration within hours during his speech in the Knesset, saying: "Yesterday we saw Hamas blatantly violate the ceasefire agreement. Unfortunately, two soldiers fell during the ceasefire. Hamas immediately felt our might - we attacked it with 153 tons of bombs." According to him, "We attacked dozens of targets throughout the Gaza Strip, eliminated many terrorists including senior commanders. I made it clear from the beginning that a ceasefire is not a license for Hamas to threaten us. We agreed with Trump that Hamas's military and governing power would be eliminated."
