  "summary": "Two Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike on a civilian car southwest of Gaza City on Monday night. According to Wafa news, an Israeli drone fired a missile at the vehicle on the coastal road near the Martyr Khalil al-Wazir Mosque in the Sheikh Ajleen neighbourhood, also injuring several others.\n\nThe incident occurred amid heightened tensions in the region. The Israeli military had carried out strikes across the Gaza Strip on Sunday, killing at least 18 Palestinians, according to the local civil defence. The attacks, which Israel said targeted members of Hamas, also triggered fires that burned for hours.\n\nThe strikes came as US President Donald Trump's envoy visited Israel, following a recent agreement secured by the Trump-led Board of Peace for the Palestinian militant group to disarm alongside an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. However, the renewed violence has cast doubt on the prospects for peace in the region.",
