DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip - The recent Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have raised concerns about the progress of the nascent ceasefire, just two days after U.S. negotiators reportedly urged Israel to reduce attacks in the territory. On Wednesday, at least ten individuals lost their lives in two separate strikes, as reported by local hospitals and the Palestinian Red Crescent.
Israeli forces also breached the ceasefire line in southern Gaza, arresting a Hamas police colonel early Wednesday, according to witnesses and a Hamas official. Israel's military confirmed one of the strikes, which targeted a Hamas commander involved in the October 7, 2023, attack in southern Israel that claimed 1,200 lives and abducted 251 people.
Another strike in Tuffah, Gaza City, killed four Hamas militants who were gathering at a police station and believed to be planning attacks against Israeli troops. The day before, Israel's military struck a meeting of four Hamas officials.
