About this video
Drone footage showed the extent of destruction in the area of al-Maqussi Towers, in northwest Gaza City.
Israel's defence minister Israel Katz threatened on Wednesday to resume the war on Gaza if Hamas does not honour the terms of the US-backed ceasefire that halted the war.
The statement from the Israeli defence ministerβs office came after Hamas handed over the remains of two more deceased hostages, and said it would be unable to retrieve any more bodies from the ruins of Gaza without specialised equipment.
Since Monday, under a ceasefire agreement brokered by US President Donald Trump, Hamas has handed back 20 surviving hostages to Israel in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners freed from Israeli jails.
