Israeli airstrikes killed at least 13 Palestinians in Gaza on Sunday, despite ongoing ceasefire discussions, according to local authorities. The attacks targeted residential areas in Gaza City, Khan Younis, and Deir el-Balah, with reports of multiple buildings hit. The strikes occurred as Hamas had reportedly agreed to a disarmament deal, backed by U.S. President Donald Trump, to end the war. Israeli officials said the attacks were aimed at military targets, but medics confirmed civilian casualties, including children.
The Israeli military has not announced a withdrawal from Gaza, as stated by an Israeli minister. Meanwhile, Iran’s top diplomat warned of a “decisive response” to any U.S.-Israeli “aggression.” Local health officials described the aftermath as devastating, with families mourning the dead and others injured. The situation remains tense as the conflict continues despite diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the crisis.
Families in Gaza are struggling to salvage belongings from damaged homes, while Israeli officials remain focused on targeting Hamas operatives. The conflict has caused significant loss of life, with reports of at least 13 killed in the latest strikes. The humanitarian situation is worsening, with no immediate sign of a lasting ceasefire.
The attacks highlight the ongoing violence in the region, even as diplomatic talks continue. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, but the conflict shows no signs of slowing down.
