Cairo (TDI): A senior Hamas team held talks with Egypt’s intelligence chief in Cairo on Sunday, raising concerns about what it described as ongoing Israeli violations of the ceasefire arrangement.
According to a statement issued by the group, Hamas reiterated that it remains committed to carrying out the first phase of the agreement but warned that repeated breaches by Israel could jeopardize the fragile truce.
The delegation, which included Khalil al-Hayya, the movement’s exiled political figure, urged Egypt and other mediating parties to put in place a clear mechanism to record and curb any violations. Hamas officials stressed that without a structured system, accountability would remain weak and the deal could quickly unravel.
Around the same time, the Israeli military announced that it had killed Alaa al-Hadidi, described as a local Hamas commander involved in logistics and supplies within the group’s production network. Israel said he died during a series of strikes carried out across Gaza. Hamas did not immediately confirm or comment on the report.

In Islamabad, Pakistan’s Foreign Office sharply criticized Israel’s continued aerial assaults on Gaza, calling Saturday’s strike, which left at least 21 Palestinians dead, a serious breach of international law as well as an affront to the peace efforts underway.
“Pakistan strongly condemns the relentless attacks by Israeli occupying forces across Gaza,” the statement read, noting that the strikes had claimed civilian lives and wounded many more. The FO said such actions directly violate UN Security Council resolutions and run contrary to the agreement reached recently at Sharm el-Sheikh.
