Israeli strikes in Gaza on Thursday kill at least three people, with some reports citing four deaths, including two children, according to Gaza health officials. Medics say an Israeli airstrike hit a tent encampment in Khan Younis in the south of the enclave, killing a man and an eight-year-old girl. Another report adds that the total includes two children among the dead, while the exact number varies across accounts.
The incidents come as mediators hold new talks with Hamas leaders aimed at full implementation of a U.S.-brokered Gaza peace plan and a broader ceasefire effort. One outlet also reports that the wider death toll for Palestinians since the ceasefire took effect is more than 1,200, mostly civilians, based on Gaza health officials, though it does not specify the timeframe beyond that reference.
The reports describe the strikes’ immediate impact on civilians and the ongoing diplomatic efforts to reach or sustain a ceasefire, without providing additional details on strike locations beyond Khan Younis.
