An Israeli airstrike kills at least two Palestinians and wounds 12 at a café near the Gaza seaport on Sunday, according to health officials and medical staff. The café is described as being crowded with people celebrating public holidays at the time of the attack. No immediate comment is provided by Israeli authorities in the reports.
The incident comes amid ongoing fighting in Gaza. One report notes that a ceasefire reached in October through U.S. President Donald Trump has not stopped Israeli attacks. Separately, the sources reference stalled negotiations between Israel and Hamas through indirect talks. These talks relate to implementing a further phase of a deal, which is described as including Hamas’s disarmament and Israeli military withdrawals.
There is no confirmation of the target or circumstances beyond the reported location and casualty figures. The reported deaths and injuries are attributed to local health authorities and medics.
