Israeli Airstrikes in Gaza Kill Two, Damage Medical Warehouses Amid Ceasefire Talks
Israeli airstrikes in Gaza on August 1, 2026, killed at least two Palestinians and damaged medical supply warehouses near hospitals in Deir al-Balah and Gaza City. The Israeli military targeted Hamas militants and weapons depots, asserting some facilities were used for military purposes. Palestinian health officials reported casualties and destruction of essential medical supplies. These strikes occurred amid reports of a ceasefire deal involving Hamas' disarmament and power transfer to a UN-backed committee, though Israel has not officially confirmed the agreement.
