Overnight Israeli strikes on Gaza targeted multiple residential buildings, resulting in the deaths of at least eight people, authorities reported. Despite Hamas's announcement of an agreement to a US-backed plan aimed at ending the conflict, the violence continued. Hamas claims to have agreed to hand over its weapons and allow the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, though Israel has yet to confirm the deal.

Details of the Strikes

Gaza civil defense officials confirmed the fatalities from the overnight strikes. Among the casualties, a man and his wife were killed in an attack on an apartment in the central Gaza Strip. Another attack west of Gaza City claimed the lives of an elderly man and a child, while a third strike northwest of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip killed three people, including a child.

Background on the Conflict

The conflict between Israel and Hamas has been ongoing, with both sides suffering casualties. Hamas has agreed to a plan that includes handing over its weapons and the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, as part of a deal championed by former US President Donald Trump. However, Israel has not officially confirmed the agreement, emphasizing that any withdrawal will depend on Hamas's genuine disarmament.

Human Impact

The overnight strikes have exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with residential buildings being targeted and civilians killed. The strikes have caused significant damage to infrastructure, including a hospital whose medical supplies were destroyed in earlier attacks.
