At least 13 killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza after Hamas agree disarmament deal
Israel says it was targeting military operatives in the strikes on Gaza City, Khan Younis and Deir el-Balah.
At least 13 people, among them several children, have been killed in recent Israeli strikes on Gaza, according to Palestinian officials. The attacks targeted cities including Gaza City, Khan Younis, and Deir el-Balah. This marks the second night of such strikes, following Hamas' acceptance of a disarmament plan offered by US President Donald Trump's Board of Peace.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed they were targeting military operatives, with two Hamas militants reportedly killed. However, the IDF's Energy Minister, Eli Cohen, stated that no agreement had been reached to halt the attacks, suggesting that placing Gaza entirely under Israeli control was necessary if Hamas did not disarm, despite the Board of Peace plan for Israel to withdraw from the territory.
