India, Oct. 28 -- Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday ordered the Israeli forces to immediately carry out "powerful strikes" in Gaza.

The order came amid heightened tensions days after the US-brokered ceasefire, with Israel reporting Hamas firing on its forces in southern Gaza.

Hamas had also earlier handed over the body parts of a hostage, who Israel said had been recovered two years ago by its troops.
