The Israeli military has killed  at least 40 Palestinians despite the truce announced recently.

According to Al Jazeera, Israeli military stepped up attacks on the Gaza Strip since the announcement.

The killings came on the heels of the Israeli cabinet preparation to vote on the deal.

However, Hamas official, Izzat al-Risheq, said the deal reached in the Qatari capital, Doha, meets all of the Palestinian group’s conditions.
