Israeli strikes in Gaza have resulted in the death of nine Palestinians, despite US President Donald Trump's claim of a breakthrough in negotiations aimed at restoring a ceasefire agreement from last year. Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen stated on Sunday that there is no agreement in place to cease the attacks and that, given Israel's current control of 70% of the Strip, it is necessary for Israel to assume full control over Gaza.
Cohen, a member of Prime Minister Netanyahu's security cabinet, oversees security and diplomatic policies for the government. Palestinian health officials reported that Israeli warplanes targeted multiple locations across Gaza, including northern Gaza City, central Deir al-Balah, and southern Khan Younis. In Deir al-Balah, a man and his wife were killed, and four others were wounded in an air strike on a flat.
A second strike in Gaza City resulted in the deaths of two individuals, including a child, after targeting another flat.
