At least six people were killed when an Israeli airstrike hit a wedding ceremony in Gaza City on Wednesday. The attack targeted the second floor of a school that had been converted into a shelter, according to local media. The incident occurred as representatives from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey were in the United States to discuss the next phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement.

Gaza’s media office reported that Israel has violated the US-brokered truce more than 500 times since it took effect in October. The Israeli military said its forces identified several suspected individuals in the northern Gaza ‘Yellow Line’ area and opened fire to neutralize what it described as a threat. Meanwhile, US envoy Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed ongoing talks in Miami with regional partners, including the UAE, to shape Gaza’s future governance.

Washington’s proposal reportedly includes forming a Palestinian technocratic committee, establishing a peace board, and deploying an international force in the territory. Analysts say the latest strike could complicate diplomatic efforts to sustain the fragile ceasefire.
