Israeli strikes across multiple areas of the Gaza Strip killed at least four people, including children, officials said, underscoring the continuing toll of the conflict on civilians in the territory.

The strikes took place as Hamas officials held talks in Cairo with mediators from Qatar, Egypt and Turkey over a possible truce. The ongoing bombardment during the talks illustrates that military activity on the ground has not paused.

Aid organizations warn that continued civilian casualties are further straining an already fragile humanitarian situation in the territory. Whether the Cairo talks produce a truce should become clearer in the coming days.
