NEW YORK, October 28. /TASS/. Israeli authorities notified the United States before launching strikes on the Gaza Strip, Associated Press reported, citing US officials.
According to the news agency, US Vice President JD Vance told reporters that the ceasefire would hold. "That doesn't mean there aren't going to be little skirmishes here and there," Associated Press quoted Vance as saying.
According to Axios, Israel provided the White House and the CIA with a 15-minute drone video that allegedly shows Hamas staging the discovery of a hostage's body.
However, a US official told Axios that senior Trump administration representatives told Netanyahu's team they did not consider this a significant ceasefire violation and called for restraint.
Earlier, Hamas' militant wing, the Izzeddin al-Qassam Brigades group, announced plans to hand over the body of a hostage killed in the Gaza Strip to the International Committee of the Red Cross at 9:00 p.m. local time (6:00 p.m. GMT).
