On Thursday, Israeli air strikes in Gaza resulted in the deaths of two individuals, including a senior police official in Gaza city. The first attack targeted a motorcycle ride in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, resulting in one fatality and another injured. Israel claimed the strike was aimed at a Hamas commander plotting an assault on their forces.
Later that day, a separate drone attack in Gaza city's Sheikh Ajleen neighborhood killed one person and wounded two others. The Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that the victim was police colonel Jamal Abu Kamal. The Israeli military posted a video of the strike, asserting the death of a Hamas commander involved in the October 7 attacks.
Earlier that week, Israel had carried out an air strike to neutralize a threat to its troops, with one person critically injured in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza. These strikes followed a period of calm in Israeli attacks, which had ceased for over a week due to US pressure to accept President Donald Trump's peace plan. The plan called for Hamas to disarm gradually while Israel withdrew from Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly dismissed the proposal on Sunday. Hamas stated that implementation of the deal would hinge on Israel fulfilling its commitments, including withdrawal and cessation of attacks.
