Israeli strikes in Gaza kill eight despite US peace proposal
At least eight people were killed in overnight Israeli strikes in Gaza, despite a US-backed peace proposal calling for a complete cessation of hostilities.
Israeli air strikes targeted the Gaza Strip overnight, killing at least eight people according to local Palestinian Civil Defense officials. The latest military activity occurred despite a recently announced peace framework put forward by the United States President's Peace Council.
Under the proposed agreement announced on Thursday, both Israel and Hamas are required to cease military operations. The text outlines provisions for the disarmament of Hamas and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the enclave.
The renewed violence in Gaza follows separate overnight military engagements in southern Lebanon, where Israeli forces reported eliminating several Hezbollah combatants, further straining regional ceasefires.
