Dozens Killed in Gaza as Israel Intensifies Strikes While Hamas Weighs U.S. Cease-Fire Plan

Hamas has yet to accept a U.S. plan conditioning a cease-fire on hostage releases plus disarmament.

Overview

  • Hospitals reported at least 41 Palestinians killed overnight into Thursday, while the Gaza Health Ministry cited 51 deaths over 24 hours and another outlet reported 65 since dawn.
  • Missiles struck a Gaza City school sheltering displaced families and shelling hit a tent camp in Deir al-Balah, with doctors reporting multiple civilian fatalities.
  • Israel pressed a renewed push on Gaza City as residents fled south through screened checkpoints, with local authorities reporting closures and hazardous escape routes.
  • The International Committee of the Red Cross suspended activities in Gaza City and Doctors Without Borders had already halted operations, underscoring a deepening aid shortfall.
  • President Donald Trump set a three-to-four-day window for a Hamas reply to the proposal accepted by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as Qatar and Egypt signaled further talks were required.
