Israel has blocked the main route, Salah al-Din Street, which serves as the primary passage for movement from northern to southern Gaza. This action is a violation of the latest ceasefire agreement. Hamas has condemned the move, stating that it has completely derailed the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement, further tightening the blockade on Gaza and worsening the humanitarian crisis. According to AFP, Israeli airstrikes in war-torn Gaza have claimed the lives of 970 Palestinians in the past 48 hours.
