Not long afterward, the Israeli authorities said they had released another 30 imprisoned Palestinians. The release of the hostages came just hours after the two sides accused each other of violating their truce for the first time since it went into effect last Friday. Israel said that explosive devices were detonated near its troops in two places in northern Gaza. Hamas said its fighters had engaged in a “field clash” provoked by Israel. But neither side suggested that it might pull out of the agreement.
