Israeli Strike in Gaza Kills One as Both Sides Dispute Truce Violations

U.S. mediation underpins a fragile pause with American personnel on the ground to oversee compliance.

Overview

  • A man was killed near a market in Gaza City's Shejaia area, with Al-Ahli Hospital reporting the death and the Israeli military saying it targeted a militant posing an immediate threat.
  • Israel and Hamas exchanged accusations of breaching the October 10 ceasefire, which has largely quieted large-scale fighting after two years of war.
  • Palestinian health officials report 236 people killed in Gaza since the truce took effect, while Israel says three soldiers were killed and that its strikes have focused on militants.
  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israeli forces are eliminating remaining Hamas pockets and will retaliate against attempts to harm troops.
  • About 200 U.S. troops have established a base in southern Israel to monitor the truce and help plan an international stabilisation force, as senior U.S. and Israeli commanders confer on Gaza.
