At a glance
- Israel launched attacks across Gaza, resulting in at least two Palestinian deaths and ten injuries.
- The strikes occurred one day after Hamas reportedly agreed to a phased disarmament plan.
- The proposed deal, brokered by US President Donald Trump's Board of Peace, would involve Hamas disarming in exchange for Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
Israeli forces conducted widespread attacks across the Gaza Strip, leading to casualties among Palestinians. At least two individuals were killed and ten others sustained injuries during the assaults.
These military actions followed closely on the heels of Hamas reportedly agreeing to a draft peace deal. This agreement, facilitated by the US President Donald Trump's Board of Peace, outlines a phased disarmament process for Hamas.
Under the terms of the proposed deal, Hamas would disarm in stages. In parallel, Israel would carry out a withdrawal from Gaza. The agreement aimed to de-escalate the ongoing conflict and provide a pathway toward peace.
The timing of the Israeli attacks, occurring just a day after Hamas's reported acceptance of the peace framework, raises questions about the commitment of both parties to the diplomatic process and the future prospects for a resolution.
