President Trump threatened to "eradicate" Hamas if it continues to violate a ceasefire the US helped broker between the militant group and Israel.

An Israeli security official said the transfer of aid into the territory is halted "until further notice," the first major test of the ceasefire.

As the delicate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas takes hold, some aid has begun flowing into the Gaza Strip, where many Palestinians are returning home and beginning to reckon with the destruction caused by the two-year conflict.

Hamas transfers a deceased hostage's coffin to the Red Cross for handover to Israel Defense Forces troops in Gaza as part of ongoing ceasefire agreement.

The Israeli military said it had fired at a "suspicious vehicle" it said had crossed the line demarcating the area occupied by its forces.

After Israel-Hamas clashes test Trump's Gaza peace deal, his top negotiators return to the region to shore up the ceasefire.

A US-brokered ceasefire in Gaza appears to have survived its first major test as Israel and Hamas affirmed their commitment to the deal after two Israeli soldiers were killed in the enclave on Sunday,

Israel launched strikes against Hamas in Gaza and reportedly suspended all aid shipments on Sunday after blaming Hamas for a lethal Palestinian ambush that left two soldiers dead.
