Hamas denies Israeli claims of humiliation in hostage handover ceremonies

Hamas has rejected Israel's claims that recent hostage handover ceremonies are humiliating. Israel canceled the release of over 600 Palestinian prisoners, citing violations of the ceasefire and concerns over the dignity of Israeli hostages. Families had waited for hours to welcome the prisoners, but the release was halted. Hamas accused Israel of using the situation to avoid its obligations under the ceasefire agreement. In the West Bank, Israeli forces have intensified operations, with tanks seen in Jenin for the first time in decades. The Palestinian Health Ministry reports numerous casualties, including children, amid ongoing violence.
