Amid ongoing blockade and Israeli military operations in Gaza, two infants have died due to severe malnutrition and a shortage of infant formula, according to medical sources. The death toll in Gaza has now reached 244, primarily due to lack of food and essential medicines.
In addition, Israeli aircraft targeted a tent community in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, resulting in the death of two civilians and injuring several others. The Israeli artillery also shelled areas in eastern Gaza’s Shuja’iyya and Al-Tufah neighborhoods, causing extensive damage to homes and buildings.
Further, a robot in eastern Boubie Trapped was destroyed in an explosion, and an Israeli drone struck a group of civilians in Bani Sahlah, east of Khan Younis, killing two and injuring many. On Thursday, Israeli forces carried out brutal operations across Gaza, killing 70 Palestinians, most of whom were women and children.
On the diplomatic front, U.S. President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio held telephone talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer. According to Israeli media reports, a ceasefire agreement has been reached to end the conflict within two weeks.
The “Israel Hume” newspaper reported that the deal includes the release of hostages held by Hamas and the transfer of remaining Hamas leaders to other countries, aiming to de-escalate the ongoing violence. The agreement also contemplates discussions on a two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, provided reforms are implemented within the Palestinian Authority.
Furthermore, the accord hints at some Israeli autonomy over parts of the occupied West Bank. As part of broader negotiations, efforts are underway to include additional countries in the Abraham Accords. U.S. officials announced that significant efforts are being made to advance prisoner exchange talks, especially following recent strikes on Iran, which have accelerated progress in diplomatic negotiations.
