Eight Palestinians were killed and 13 injured in Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip over the past 48 hours. The attacks occurred despite a ceasefire agreement that was meant to reduce violence in the region.
An Israeli drone strike near Khan Younis killed at least two people, according to Nasser Hospital. The Gaza Ministry of Health reported the fatalities and injuries as part of ongoing military operations.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Israel had not violated the truce through a strike on a Palestinian Islamic Jihad member. He claimed the target was planning an attack on Israeli troops, justifying the action.
