Hamas on Sunday rejected a statement by the U.S. State Department citing “credible reports” that the Palestinian militant group was poised to violate the recently brokered ceasefire agreement with Israel.

The group, designated a terrorist organization by the United States and other Western powers, denied the allegations. However, as many observers note, the credibility of such a group remains highly questionable.

The Israeli military has launched an attack on Gaza, as Israel continued to trade blame with Palestinian militant group Hamas over violations of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire aiming to end the war in the enclave, Israeli media reported on Sunday.

Israeli public broadcaster Kan said the air force was attacking Rafah in the south of Gaza. Most media outlets described the attack as air strikes.
