At least eight people in Gaza have been killed in overnight strikes which hit residential buildings, Palestinian officials have said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gaza’s Civil Defence Authority said Israeli military aircraft carried out the strikes on Gaza City, Khan Younis and Deir el-Balah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), said it was targeting military operatives in Gaza, and two Hamas militants were killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was the second successive night of Israeli strikes on the territory, and it comes days after Hamas accepted a disarmament plan, which would see the Palestinian group hand over its weapons to US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Israeli Energy Minister, Eli Cohen, said on Sunday that no deal had been reached to stop attacks on the Gaza Strip, a territory now under 70% Israeli control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cohen added that he saw a need for the strip to be placed under the full control of Israel if Hamas did not disarm – despite the Board of Peace plan for Israel to pull out of the territory<\/a> – the Reuters news agency reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a post on X on Sunday, the IDF said it had killed two Hamas commanders, one from the elite Nukbha force, and one from the Maghazi Battalion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The IDF also said killed another Hamas militant from the Jabalia Battalion in northern Gaza in a separate attack last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Palestinian health officials said two people, including a child, were killed in a strike on a residential building in Gaza City, while another person was killed near Jabalia in northern Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A father, mother and their nine-year-old son were killed after a strike on a house in Khan Younis, and a man and woman died after their apartment block was struck in Deir el-Balah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More than 1,100 Palestinians have been killed since a supposed ceasefire came into effect last October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
