Israeli airstrikes in Gaza resulted in two deaths and significant damage to medical supply storage at a hospital, according to health institutions and local authorities. The Israeli military announced it had "dismantled five Hamas weapons warehouses in the Gaza Strip" overnight.
These military actions follow the announcement of a potential agreement to end the conflict. U.S. President Donald Trump initially announced the deal, which Hamas reportedly accepted. The proposed agreement includes a cessation of military operations and a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces in exchange for the disarmament of the Islamist group. However, Israel has not yet officially confirmed its participation in the deal.
In Gaza City, one person died and several were injured in an attack, reported Al Shifa hospital. The Israeli military stated the strike targeted "a Hamas terrorist" in the area. In Deir al Balah, central Gaza, another individual was killed in a separate strike, according to Al Aqsa hospital, with the Israeli military again claiming to have targeted a Hamas member.

The Civil Defense in Gaza reported that a third strike hit a medical supply warehouse at Al Aqsa hospital, causing substantial damage. The Israeli military confirmed targeting a building where "Hamas terrorists" stored weapons. The Ministry of Health in the Hamas-run territory confirmed the damage to the hospital's supplies.
According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, at least 1,222 Palestinians have died in Gaza since a ceasefire took effect in October. The United Nations considers these figures reliable. However, restrictions on media access and limited entry into Gaza prevent independent verification of casualty figures or on-the-ground reporting of the violence.
