IDF told to prepare for phase one of Trump's plan

Hours after being told by President Trump to stop bombing Gaza, Israel's military says it's still operating in the territory's biggest city.

Israel's military says it's still operating in Gaza City and has warned Palestinians it's too dangerous to return. Earlier, President Trump told Israel to stop bombing the territory after Hamas said it accepted part of his peace plan -- including the release of all the hostages it's holding. But Gaza's Hamas-run civil defence agency says Israeli attacks continued overnight.
