Hamas’ Palestinian terrorists postponed freeing a second group of hostages after saying Israel reneged on the four-day cease-fire that began Friday. 

Hamas claimed Israel is in “noncompliance” with the battle pause’s terms, hence is delaying trading 13 hostages for 42 Palestinian prisoners. 

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that Hamas officials took issue with Israel blocking aid from reaching northern Gaza.



Meanwhile, the United Nations and Israel say 200 aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip on Friday, with 50 of the trucks loaded with food, water, shelter and medical supplies bound for the northern part of the region through evacuation corridors.
