Marjorie Taylor Greene Accuses Israel Of Committing War Crimes After Latest Strikes In Gaza

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene accused Israel of committing war crimes after the military's latest strikes in Gaza, with local officials claiming 104 people were killed, including 46 children.

"Israel's military said Wednesday that the ceasefire was back on in Gaza after it killed 104 people, including 46 children, according to local health officials. 46 CHILDREN!!! Are these not war crimes?" said Greene in a social media publication. She has been among the few Republicans to call Israel's actions in Gaza a genocide.

Israel said on Wednesday it would resume compliance with the ceasefire after the strikes, which officials claimed was catalyzed by the killing of a soldier in the city of Rafah on Tuesday and Hamas' continued delays to deliver the remaining bodies of hostages killed in Gaza. The IDF said Hamas operatives fired anti-tank missiles and conducted sniper fire against its forces.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that it attacked 30 Hamas commanders in Gaza in response. Hamas rejected any involvement in the incident and accused Israel of breaking the ceasefire.

Axios detailed that most of Rafah is controlled by the IDF, but some Hamas operatives are active in tunnels in the area.

Trump reacted to the development saying that Israel had the right to retaliate and didn't think the ceasefire was at risk. He added that Hamas has to comply or risk being destroyed.

Hamas also said it would suspend the delivery of a hostage body, claiming that "any Zionist escalation will hinder the search, excavation, and recovery of the bodies, which will lead to a delay in the occupation's recovery of the bodies of its dead."

The group says it doesn't know the location of several bodies and lacks the equipment necessary to search for them, a claim rejected by Israel, which says it has intelligence showing that Hamas knows there whereabouts of several bodies it has not delivered.
