At least 13 people were killed and several others injured in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza late Sunday night, according to reports. The attacks targeted areas near Khan Younis, Gaza City, and Deir al-Balah, causing significant casualties. The strikes occurred as Egypt began a new round of discussions with Hamas and other Palestinian factions to maintain the existing ceasefire.

The ceasefire, brokered by the United States, has been in place since October 2025, halting major fighting. However, no agreement has been reached on implementing a U.S.-backed plan for Gaza’s reconstruction, Israeli troop withdrawal, or Hamas disarmament. Hamas has stated that ending Israeli attacks is essential for any progress in negotiations.

Since the ceasefire took effect last October, Israeli strikes have killed 947 Palestinians and injured more than 2,900 others, according to the report.
