Gaza experienced more uncertainty in its fragile ceasefire as Israel launched deadly airstrikes and conducted a raid on Wednesday. Just two days after U.S. negotiators reportedly urged Israel to reduce attacks in the Gaza Strip, at least 10 individuals were killed in two strikes, according to local hospitals and the Palestinian Red Crescent.
Israeli troops entered the ceasefire zone in southern Gaza and captured a Hamas police colonel early Wednesday, according to two witnesses and a Hamas official. One of the strikes on Wednesday in Nuseirat targeted a Hamas commander involved in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel that killed 1,200 civilians, while another strike in Tuffah area killed another Hamas commander planning attacks against Israeli troops.
A strike on a police station in Gaza City on Tuesday killed nine people and wounded 15. On Tuesday, an Israeli strike on a crowded seaside cafe killed seven Palestinians, including a child, claiming the operation targeted four Hamas commanders and a militant linked to the 2023 assault. Israel's military conducted reviews of 150 troop incidents during the Gaza war and planned to launch criminal investigations into the deaths of a 5-year-old girl, her family, and 15 Palestinian paramedics.
