Israeli Airstrike Kills Several in Gaza Amid US Peace Plan Efforts
An Israeli airstrike on a crowded seaside cafe in Gaza City killed at least six to seven Palestinians, including a child, and wounded 14 others, some critically. Israel said it targeted Hamas commanders involved in the October 7 attack on Israel, aiming to prevent further assaults. The strike occurred a day after US envoy Jared Kushner met Israeli leaders to advance President Trump's peace plan, which seeks Hamas disarmament and Gaza reconstruction. Hamas accused Israel of undermining the peace efforts, while Israel emphasized its military objectives and civilian harm mitigation.
