Israel struck Gaza City, Khan Younis and Deir el-Balah, killing at least 13 people, hours after Hamas agreed to a disarmament deal. Israel said the strikes targeted militant operatives, underscoring that violence has continued despite diplomatic progress.
The Israeli military carried out strikes on targets in Gaza City, Khan Younis and Deir el-Balah, with local officials saying at least 13 people were killed. Israel said the sites hit were being used by militant operatives.
The strikes came shortly after Hamas was reported to have agreed to a disarmament deal, underscoring that violence on the ground has continued despite diplomatic progress. U.S. President Donald Trump had said Israel was "very happy" with the current proposal on the table.
Analysts said the strikes illustrate how fragile trust remains even as a deal moves toward implementation. Mediators are continuing efforts to keep both sides committed to the terms of any ceasefire.
