Israel officially said Friday that the 'humanitarian truce' in Gaza Strip, announced by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon late Thursday, that went into effect earlier is now over and military operations were in progress on the ground.
The Israeli announcement came only hours after the truce began earlier on Friday. After the ceasefire began, Gaza's streets began to fill with Palestinian families. Israel said that serious security developments and severe acts made it breach the truce when some fighters from Gaza infiltrated into south Israel via a tunnel and battled fiercely with Israeli soldiers.
However, Izzuddin al-qassam Brigades said that some of its members infiltrated into Israel two hours before the truce went into effect and targeted a home in which Israeli special forces hided. A spokesman for Israel army said that those fighters managed to captivate an Israeli soldier.
Israel resumed its attacks of the beleaguered Gaza Strip, killing at least 50 people, most of whom are women and children, according to a medical source in the strip.
The Israeli army also opened fire at a hospital in Rafah, in which many people were killed as they were being treated.
The death toll in Gaza has so far left at least 1,400 dead and about 8,000 injured.
