The Israeli Attorney General's Office announced on Tuesday that it had suspended Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's court testimony due to renewed fighting in the Gaza Strip.

The Jerusalem Post reported that Netanyahu is scheduled to hold an emergency meeting of the security cabinet at 11:00 a.m. local time (9:00 GMT).

Earlier, an Israeli military spokesman announced that "based on directives from the political echelon, IDF and Shin Bet forces are launching a large-scale attack on terrorist targets belonging to the Hamas terrorist organization throughout the Gaza Strip."

For its part, Hamas accused Netanyahu of reneging on the ceasefire agreement and reneging on all of his commitments, calling on "the sons of the Arab and Islamic nations and the free people of the world to demonstrate in rejection of the resumption of war."
