A source close to the deal negotiations has told the BBC that Hamas believes that Israel violated the truce agreement by not allowing fuel into the north of the Gaza Strip.
Furthermore, the source says Hamas was unwilling to release Israeli men held in Gaza on the same terms as the women and child hostages.
We've got some pictures from Gaza after Israel resumed strikes against Hamas.
The seven-day temporary ceasefire has ended, but as our Gaza correspondent Rushdi Abu Alouf reported earlier, a Palestinian official says mediators are continuing efforts to reach an agreement between the two sides, even as fighting resumes.

In the last hour, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Hamas did not agree to release further hostages, which violated the terms of the truce.
Hamas did not release all women hostages as agreed and attacked Israel with rockets this morning, Netanyahu's office adds.
In a statement on social media, his office says Israel remains committed to achieving its objectives - to free hostages, eliminate Hamas and to "ensure that Gaza will never pose a threat to the residents of Israel".
Shortly before the ceasefire deal ended just over an hour ago, loudspeaker sirens could be heard in southern Israel.

As the Israeli military resumed combat operations, it accused Hamas of violating the terms of a temporary truce.
Shortly before the ceasefire was due to expire, sirens sounded in southern Israel, and the Israeli army said it had intercepted a rocket launched from Gaza.
The Hamas-run Interior Ministry said multiple areas had been hit by Israeli airstrikes.
The truce led to the release of more than 100 hostages being held in Gaza – but around 140 remain in captivity.
The restart in hostilities is likely to worsen the humanitarian crisis in the territory, amid shortages of essential supplies.
At least six Palestinians were killed Friday morning in an Israeli air raid in Rafah city, a city in southern Gaza, a spokesman from the Hamas-run health ministry told AFP.
Separately, two children were killed in air raids on Gaza City in the north, the news agency said, quoting Fadel Naim, a doctor with Al-Ahli hospital.
The BBC's Rushdi Abu Alouf has been told by a Palestinian official close to the talks that mediators are continuing efforts to reach an agreement between the two sides, even as fighting continues.
It comes after a seven-day truce between Hamas and Israel expired at 07:00 local times (05:00 GMT), with the Israeli military swiftly announcing that fighting had resumed.
It has since struck several targets in the Gaza strip.
If you're just joining us, the main thing to know is the seven-day truce between Israel and Hamas has come to an end. Here's what happened:
Quote MessageHamas violated the operational pause, and in addition, fired toward Israeli territory. The IDF has resumed combat against the Hamas terrorist organisation in the Gaza Strip."
It is now almost 08:00 in Israel and Gaza and we are receiving lots of reports about strikes hitting parts of Gaza, with the IDF saying jets "are currently striking Hamas targets".
We'll keep bringing you the latest right here.
The Israel Defense Forces says its fighter jets are currently striking Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip.
This comes about half an hour after Israel said it would resume fighting as Hamas had "violated" the terms of the truce agreement.
Several air strikes have hit the southern Gaza Strip, the Hamas-run interior and national security ministry said on its Telegram account.
BBC sources inside Gaza have confirmed this as well. The sources also said several explosions have been heard in northern Gaza and there has been an exchange of fire northwest of Gaza City.
We are also seeing explosions on live feed.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who's currently on a visit to the Middle East, said yesterday that Israeli officials had told him they intended to resume military operations at some point.
But in doing so, Blinken urged Israel to do a few things:
Israel's military has now said it has resumed fighting with Hamas in Gaza.
Shortly before the seven-day truce was set to expire, Israel said it shot down a rocket fired from Gaza while media outlets affiliated with the Hamas group reported explosions and gunfire in northern Gaza.
The truce was initially set to last for four days and extended twice.
As of Thursday, 110 hostages held in Gaza have been released since the truce started on 24 November, while Israel has released 240 Palestinian prisoners.
The Hamas attacks on Israel on 7 October killed 1,200 people. Since then, Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry says more than 14,800 people have been killed in Israel's retaliatory campaign, including about 6,000 children.
Israel says it has resumed fighting with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
In a post on X, the Israel Defense Forces said that Hamas had opened fire at Israel, therefore violating the terms of the truce agreement.
The deadline to extend the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has now passed.
We have not yet heard anything about extending it, despite efforts by the US, Egypt and Qatar to do that.
Citing Hamas-affiliated media, Reuters and Al Jazeera are reporting that explosions and gunfire have been heard in the northern Gaza Strip, particularly to the northwest of Gaza City.
“This incident coincided with the hovering of Israeli military drones and fighter jets in the sky of the Gaza Strip,” said Al Jazeera reporter Tareq Abu Azzoum Azzoum, who was reporting from Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
And AFP quoted eyewitnesses reporting heavy aircraft and drone activity in northwestern Gaza.
Earlier, the israel military said it intercepted a rocket near the border with Gaza.

Now 105 hostages held in Gaza have been released, seven weeks after being taken captive during the 7 October attacks on Israel.
Seventy-eight of them are Israeli women and children - freed as part of a deal between Israel and Hamas.
Three Russian-Israelis, two women and one man, not included in the deal have also been handed over by Hamas.
Twenty-three Thai hostages and one Filipino have been released as part of a separate deal between Hamas and the Egyptian government.
In addition, prior to the deals struck with Hamas, a further four Israeli hostages were released, and another was freed by Israeli forces.

The US secretary of state delivered a powerful message to Israel about how to proceed from here.
Anthony Blinken said Benjamin Netanyahu had made it clear that Israel intends to resume its military operations, something that could happen within days.
But when it happens, Blinken said it could not be a repeat of the first, brutal weeks of Israel’s assault on Gaza.
First of all, he said, Israel had to put into place “humanitarian civilian protection plans” before going back to war, including “clearly and precisely designating” areas in central and southern Gaza where civilians can be “safe and out of the line of fire".
In other words, it simply won’t be enough for Israel to tell civilians to head for the tiny coastal area of al-Mawasi, as it has been insisting for weeks.
Then, Israel must avoid "further significant displacement of civilians". Washington doesn’t want to see tens of thousands of desperate civilians on the move. There must be no "enduring internal displacement".
Critical infrastructure – hospitals, power stations and water facilities – must not be damaged.
Taken together, these rules – and that’s what they felt like – amount to a real challenge to the Israeli government and military, which is intent on destroying Hamas once and for all and which knows that it remains embedded inside some of Gaza’s most populated areas, in particular the southern city of Khan Yunis.
Blinken drove home that challenge: Israel, he said, had "one of the most sophisticated militaries in the world". It was capable of neutralising Hamas while minimising harm to innocent civilians.
"And it has an obligation to do so," he said.
Israel, he said, had agreed with Washington’s approach. He spoke of “concrete steps”, but said it was not appropriate for him to discuss them.
Israel says a rocket fired from Gaza has been intercepted, about an hour before a truce with Hamas is due to expire.
"Following the initial report regarding sirens sounded in communities near the Gaza Strip, the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] Aerial Defense Array successfully intercepted a launch from the Gaza Strip," Israel's military said on its Telegram account.
The truce is set to expire at 07:00 local time (05:00 GMT).

It's just gone 06:00 in Israel and Gaza where a temporary ceasefire is in place for about another hour.
We still have no definitive confirmation that it will be extended but as we saw on Thursday, we may not hear anything until minutes to go before the deadline is due to expire.
Talks are continuing about extending the pause - with the US saying it's working "by the hour" with Qatar, Egypt and Israel to try and do that. Hamas has said it is willing to extend the pause.
