Amid the cease-fire Israel bombed Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip Sunday. Hamas has not taken responsibility for, or condemned, the new attacks. Some of them have been claimed by members of the militant al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.
The Hamas militant group that runs Gaza said Israeli aircraft bombed an unoccupied police station and at least six tunnels used to smuggle weapons and goods from Egypt into the Palestinian enclave. There were no reported casualties in the air strikes.
Hamas demanded that Israel open its border crossings with Gaza as part of a cease-fire.
Israel said that will not happen until Hamas releases a captive Israeli soldier held in Gaza for 2.5 years.
Meanwhile, the Egyptian government is trying to hammer out a long-term truce acceptable to both sides.
