In the Israeli-occupied West Bank, the military said it and police forces launched raids in the cities of Nablus, Qalqiliya and elsewhere, detaining at least 13 suspected terrorists and seizing weapons. It said one militant was killed.
Under the ceasefire that began in mid-January, Hamas released 25 hostages and the bodies of eight more in exchange for more than 1,700 Palestinian prisoners as agreed in the first phase.
But Israel balked at entering negotiations over a second phase. Under the agreement, phase two was meant to free the 24 living hostages still in captivity and bring about an end to the war and full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. Israel says Hamas also holds the remains of 35 captives.
