The Israeli military Friday told people in Gaza that it is resuming its ongoing offensive, saying Hamas broke a planned three-day ceasefire just hours after it began.
The army said that it has warned residents to stay indoors, BBC reported.
Palestinian sources said at least eight people were killed in an Israeli attack in Gaza after the ceasefire was declared.
Israel said the attack was in response to a rocket fire from Hamas.

In Israel, 61 soldiers and three civilians have been killed.
