This comes hours after Israel announced that its warplanes have targeted several Hamas positions in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.

The exchange of fire has lead to breaking to a ceasefire that was brokered by Egypt between Israel and Hamas which came into effect on April 1.

Tensions have been brewing at Israel-Gaza border since last year after Palestinians launched their protests against Israeli forces and establishment. (ANI)
