Israel violated the terms of the temporary ceasefire, an adviser to Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said in a statement after the delay in releasing the second group of hostages.

Taher al-Nono tells Al Jazeera that Israel has not complied with clauses regarding the entry of humanitarian aid trucks into Gaza, particularly regarding the distribution of aid in the northern Strip where fighting has been most intense.

However, Israel allowed 200 trucks to enter Gaza as required by the agreement, and the military liaison COGAT announced earlier that 50 of those trucks had reached northern Gaza.

Nono also claims that Israel also failed to honor the terms regarding the release of Palestinian prisoners, whom Hamas had pressed for release in a different order than Israel did.

The senior Hamas official claims that the IDF violated the agreement by firing on Gazans trying to return to northern Gaza, which led to the death of two Palestinians. Israel claims that a clause in the deal included a clause barring Palestinians from returning to northern Gaza, where the IDF still operates.
