Seven Killed in Israeli Strikes on Gaza Tent Camp Amid Ceasefire Talks

Seven people died in Israeli attacks in Gaza on Saturday, the territory's civil defense reported, with health officials stating 15 others were injured, including children. The strikes targeted a large tent camp in central Gaza City. An Israeli military spokesperson confirmed an attack in Gaza aimed at what they described as "terrorists" but provided no further details. This reported attack comes as Hamas claims Egypt has initiated a new round of ceasefire negotiations with leaders from Hamas and other Palestinian factions. A fragile truce between Israel and Hamas was established last October, but daily violence has persisted. Gaza's Health Ministry reports approximately 950 Palestinians have been killed since the truce began, while the Israeli military states four Israeli soldiers have died in the same period. Both sides have accused each other of violating the ceasefire agreement. The initial phase of the truce involved the exchange of Hamas's Israeli hostages for Palestinians held by Israel. The transition to a second phase, which would include Hamas's disarmament and an Israeli military withdrawal, has stalled for months. Last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced orders for the military to take control of over 70 percent of the Gaza Strip.
