Israeli airstrikes in Gaza kill 18 people, according to reports citing an Israeli minister’s statements. The minister says there is no agreed deal to halt attacks, even as fighting continues in the territory.

One outlet also reports that the United States has announced a “path” for Hamas disarmament. Despite this US-proposed framework, Israeli strikes continue, indicating that any potential steps toward disarmament have not translated into an immediate cessation of hostilities. The reports align on the casualty figure and on the Israeli minister’s position that talks for a halt have not produced an agreement.

Taken together, the coverage reflects ongoing military action in Gaza alongside diplomatic efforts or proposals related to Hamas disarmament. The articles do not provide further detail in the supplied excerpts on the specific locations of the strikes, the identities of the victims, or the status of any negotiations beyond the minister’s stated position and the US announcement.
