Israeli strikes killed eight people in Gaza, according to local medical sources, in the latest violence to hit the territory despite a US-brokered ceasefire framework. The strikes came just days after Washington unveiled a plan calling for Hamas's disarmament and a phased Israeli withdrawal.

Israel's military has not issued a detailed public account of the strikes' targets. Palestinian health officials said the dead included civilians, adding to mounting casualty figures reported since the ceasefire took effect.

The continued strikes highlight the fragility of the truce and raise questions over how the disarmament plan's terms will be enforced. Mediators, including the United States, face renewed pressure to stabilize the agreement as both sides accuse each other of violations.
