The Israeli army stated it killed four Hamas fighters in the Jabalia area. Separately, a 10-year-old boy was killed by Israeli gunfire in Rafah, southern Gaza.

On Wednesday, an Israeli airstrike killed a man, his wife, and their six-year-old daughter in Deir Al-Balah, central Gaza. Another person was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City's Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood. These deaths add to a toll of more than 1,100 Palestinians killed by Israeli attacks since an October ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took effect. Hamas leaders are currently in Cairo for discussions on a Gaza peace plan, which includes Hamas disarmament and Israeli withdrawals. Sources indicate little progress has been made amid deep distrust and alleged Israeli ceasefire violations.

Hamas-led fighters killed 1,200 people during their cross-border attack into Israel on October 7, 2023, according to Israeli tallies. The Gazan health ministry said Israel’s subsequent offensive on the strip killed more than 73,000 Palestinians.
