The Middle East: Deaths in Gaza attack - Israel: Hamas commanders the target

Six people were killed in an Israeli attack in the Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian reports. The Israeli army said it targeted several Hamas commanders in the Al-Schati neighborhood of Gaza City, who were allegedly planning attacks on Israeli soldiers. The attack also resulted in several injuries, with the Shifa Hospital reporting multiple casualties.

The incident occurred despite a ceasefire in place since October 2025, with occasional deadly attacks still occurring. US envoy Jared Kushner recently visited the region to negotiate a compromise on a Gaza plan, which includes Hamas disarming and an end to hostilities.
