Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the military to immediately carry out "powerful" attacks in Gaza.
A statement by Netanyahu's office did not specify the reason for the planned attacks. However an Israeli military official said Hamas violated the ceasefire by carrying out an attack against Israeli forces in an area under Israeli control.
Netanyahu also earlier accused Hamas of violating the agreement by turning over the wrong remains in a process of returning the bodies of hostages to Israel.
Israel said the remains were those of Ofir Tzarfati, whose body was already recovered nearly two years ago, calling the handover a "clear violation" of the US-brokered deal.
Hamas said it recovered another hostage's body Tuesday, but delayed the handover after Israel announced plans to strike Gaza.
