Hamas warned U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff that it could end the Gaza ceasefire after Israeli forces killed multiple terrorists attempting to breach security lines, according to a Saturday report from Saudi state-owned Al Arabiya.
“The agreement is over and [Hamas] is ready to fight,” sources told the Saudi outlet, according to The Jerusalem Post. The terror group added that the ceasefire must be mutual and that “Gaza will not become another Lebanon.”
An American source told Israeli news site Walla that Hamas “has made it clear that it will not be able to accept any more Israeli attacks.”
The threats came after an armed terrorist crossed the Yellow Line on Saturday and fired at Israeli soldiers along a humanitarian aid corridor in southern Gaza. The IDF killed the attacker and launched strikes against Hamas targets under Shin Bet guidance. (RELATED: Israel Says Ceasefire With Hamas Back On Despite Major Gaza Airstrikes)

Israel’s Prime Minister’s Office said the military eliminated five senior Hamas terrorists on Saturday after the terror group violated the ceasefire.
“Today, Hamas violated the ceasefire again, sending a terrorist into Israel held territory to attack IDF soldiers,” the PMO stated. “Israel has fully honored the ceasefire, Hamas has not.”
The IDF reported that 17 terrorists emerged from underground tunnels on Friday. After a 24-hour operation, troops killed 11 and arrested six others, who were transferred to Shin Bet for questioning.
In northern Gaza, Israeli forces killed two of four terrorists who approached troops after crossing the Yellow Line.
The PMO called on mediators to force Hamas to complete the hostage releases, with three captives still held in Gaza. Israel also demanded Hamas finish disarming to allow Gaza’s demilitarization.
Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya was reportedly heading a delegation to Cairo to coordinate with Arab states against Israel.
