A soldier from Israel’s occupying forces has been killed and three others seriously injured in an attack by Palestinian resistance fighters in northern Gaza. The deceased, Sergeant Yaniv Mikhalovich, served as a tank crew member in the 7th Armored Brigade. The same assault also wounded his tank commander and another soldier. In a separate incident, a commando from the Egoz Unit sustained critical injuries. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed the casualties, stating the injured were transported to hospital and their families notified. Analysts describe the incidents as a significant blow to Israeli military operations in the besieged territory.

Hamas is reviewing a new proposal for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza and is negotiating with mediators to reach a settlement. The group demands an agreement that will end the ongoing war entirely and secure the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza. Although President Trump has proposed a 60-day ceasefire, Israel insists military operations will continue until Hamas is defeated. Prime Minister Netanyahu declared that “Hamas will have no role in Gaza after the war,” raising doubts over the prospects of Hamas’s demands being met.

As negotiations over a ceasefire and prisoner exchange remain deadlocked, an Israeli official warned that Israel would expand military operations across Gaza City and central refugee camps, promising to carry out Rafah-style offensives that would “reduce everything to dust.”

Israel has issued fresh evacuation orders for parts of Gaza amid renewed military escalation. The threats come as new diplomatic efforts are underway to secure a 60-day ceasefire, though neither Israel nor Hamas has formally responded.

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that Israel has agreed to the conditions of a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, based on a proposal drafted by his special envoy, Steve Witkoff. “During this period, we will work with all parties to reach a permanent end to the conflict,” Trump stated. However, tensions remain: Israel is seeking the right to resume military operations after the temporary ceasefire, while Hamas demands a guarantee of a permanent truce. Trump praised the mediation roles played by Qatar and Egypt and urged Hamas to accept the proposal. Ahead of his Monday meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, the U.S. has been ramping up pressure on Israel to halt military action.

An Israeli airstrike on a beachfront café in western Gaza on Monday killed at least 39 Palestinians and injured dozens more.
Among the dead were journalist Ismail Abu Hatab, women, and children. The café was known as a gathering spot for journalists and activists.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that a soldier, identified as Israel Natan Rosenfeld, was killed during clashes with Palestinian fighters in northern Gaza’s Kafr Jabalia area. He is the 20th Israeli soldier to die in Gaza operations this month.

Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have killed at least 72 Palestinians, many of whom were waiting at food distribution centers. According to Al Jazeera, heavy bombardments targeted areas such as Zeitoun, Sabra, and the Al-Zawia market, overwhelming hospitals in northern Gaza, particularly Al-Ahli Hospital.

Leaflets dropped in eastern Gaza City urged civilians to move south, but intense air raids followed shortly after, escalating the death toll.

As indirect negotiations continue between Israel and Hamas for a ceasefire, Hamas leader Mahmoud Mardawi claimed that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu is only willing to release 10 hostages per truce phase and is unwilling to agree to a full release at once. Meanwhile, former U.S. President Donald Trump urged Israel to "make a deal" and "bring the hostages home."

The Gaza Government Media Office has reported the deaths of at least 66 children due to severe malnutrition, citing the ongoing Israeli blockade as a "deliberate war crime." Authorities described it as a calculated act of slow death, blaming the international community’s silence as a gross negligence of humanitarian values. The statement also held the United States, United Kingdom, France, and Germany partially responsible and urged the United Nations to immediately open all border crossings into Gaza.

At least 81 Palestinians have been killed and over 400 injured in a series of Israeli airstrikes across Gaza in the past 24 hours, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health.

Another 14 individuals, including children, were killed in attacks on an apartment block and a tent in the Al-Mawasi area, hospital sources confirmed.

Gaza’s media office claims that opioid drugs were discovered inside flour bags distributed as aid from a U.S.-Israeli center. The drug, Oxycodone, is highly addictive and potentially lethal. Officials warn that some flour bags had the drug mixed in powdered form. Locals and medical professionals condemned the act as a calculated attempt to harm Gaza's population from within. Images circulating online show the pills inside the aid. Gaza authorities have blamed Israel for using humanitarian aid as a cover for poisoning civilians.

Israeli soldiers reportedly received orders from high-ranking commanders to fire on unarmed Palestinians gathered for food aid in Gaza, according to Haaretz. The incident has prompted Israel to launch a possible war crimes investigation. Gaza officials report over 549 Palestinians killed and more than 4,000 injured while waiting for food. Israeli officials deny wrongdoing, calling the report defamatory. Gaza authorities condemn the actions as a deliberate attack disguised as humanitarian aid, highlighting the dire humanitarian crisis.

At least 72 people were killed and 174 injured on Friday as Israeli forces launched continuous attacks across Gaza, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

The enclave remains under a humanitarian crisis, exacerbated by prolonged bombardment and siege.

At least 71 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed in the latest Israeli airstrikes on Gaza, according to the local health ministry. The death toll may rise.

Israel’s security minister has threatened to shut down these relief hubs.

At least 100 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes across Gaza on Wednesday, with hundreds more injured, Anadolu Agency reported.
