Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have resulted in the deaths of at least eight Palestinians, including a man and woman killed in a helicopter strike on an apartment in Deir el-Balah. This escalation occurred despite U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of a breakthrough in ceasefire negotiations.
The strikes, which continued for a second day, also claimed lives in Khan Younis and Gaza City, with reports indicating that a medical supply warehouse was destroyed, creating a significant crater. Palestinian health officials reported that the airstrikes wounded several others, including a child.
Trump's recent 15-point roadmap for peace, aimed at implementing last year's ceasefire agreement, has yet to be put into action on the ground. Hamas has stated it will only disarm after Israel ceases military operations and withdraws its forces, a condition Israeli officials have dismissed, insisting on “genuine disarmament” first.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has remained silent on the initiative, while National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has labeled it unacceptable, advocating for continued military action against Hamas leaders. Former Fatah official Mohammed Dahlan indicated that discussions with the U.S. are ongoing, emphasizing that the success of the agreement hinges on Israel halting its daily strikes.
“The strikes came two days after Trump's Board of Peace published a 15-point roadmap for implementing last year's Gaza ceasefire; the roadmap has yet to be implemented. Hamas has said it will hand over weapons only after Israel halts operations and withdraws, while an Israeli official said there would be no withdrawal without "genuine disarmament".”
