Israeli strikes in Gaza killed four people, including two children, as Cairo talks on Hamas disarmament continue and aid restrictions face scrutiny.

New Israeli military strikes in Gaza have killed at least four Palestinians, including two young children, despite an ongoing fragile ceasefire. Attacks were reported in Khan Younis, Al-Bureij, and near Gaza City, with Israel's military stating it targeted Hamas infrastructure. Meanwhile, humanitarian organizations contend that strict Israeli border controls are hindering essential supplies from reaching civilians, while Israel maintains the restrictions prevent items from being converted for military use.

Diplomatic efforts continue in Cairo, where negotiators reportedly reached preliminary consensus on a 15-point proposal concerning Hamas disarmament, though an Israeli official cautioned against overestimating progress. In the West Bank, Israeli military authorities signed orders to confiscate Palestinian Authority-controlled land to construct a road linking two settlements.
