DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip - Intense airstrikes launched by Israel on Wednesday have raised concerns about the prospects of a successful ceasefire agreement in the Palestinian territory. Just two days after U.S. negotiators reportedly requested Israel to reduce its attacks in Gaza, at least ten individuals were killed in two separate strikes, according to reports from local hospitals and the Palestinian Red Crescent.
Israeli troops ventured beyond the ceasefire line in southern Gaza and detained a Hamas police colonel early Wednesday, according to witnesses and a Hamas official.
One of the airstrikes targeted a Hamas commander who had taken part in the Hamas-led assault in southern Israel on October 7, 2023, resulting in the deaths of 1,200 people, primarily civilians, and the abduction of 251 individuals. Another strike in Tuffah area of Gaza City struck four Hamas militants who were gathered in a police station, claiming they were plotting attacks against Israeli troops. The Israeli military stated that a strike the previous day aimed at a meeting of four Hamas members.
