The Israeli military said the strikes targeted specific objectives and killed four Hamas security officials. Its statement said measures had been taken to keep civilian casualties to a minimum. Palestinian officials said attacks in recent weeks have heavily damaged infrastructure and disrupted the humanitarian aid corridor.
Humanitarian agencies reiterated that medicines, food and fuel stocks in the area remain at critical levels. UNRWA and other agencies called for stronger civilian-protection mechanisms. Whether the sides return to talks will depend on the mediation initiatives.
