GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories, March 18, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - A Hamas official told AFP Tuesday that the group was "working with mediators to curb the aggression", after Israel unleashed its deadliest strikes since a ceasefire took effect in January.

"Hamas adhered to the ceasefire agreement and implemented it precisely, but the Israeli occupation reneged on its commitment and reversed it by resuming aggression and war," the official told AFP, adding that "Hamas and the resistance factions are in constant session to assess the situation and working with mediators to curb the aggression." So far, Hamas has not responded to the Israeli strikes.
