Israeli fire kills three in Gaza amid new ceasefire push

Israeli strikes killed three people in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, health officials said, as mediators struggled to make progress in renewed efforts to reinforce a fragile U.S.-brokered truce, sources close to the talks reported.



Medics said an Israeli strike on a house in Moghrabi Street in Gaza City killed one person. The Israeli military told Reuters it struck a militant.



Two other Palestinians were killed in separate airstrikes in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip. The Israeli military did not immediately comment.



The violence came as mediators, Egypt, Qatar and Turkey, held week-long talks with Hamas and other Palestinian factions on implementing the second phase of President Donald Trump’s Gaza plan, which would involve Hamas disarming and Israel withdrawing its forces.
