Israeli Airstrikes Kill Dozens in Gaza Amid Ceasefire Implementation Disputes
Israeli airstrikes continued in Gaza on August 2, 2026, killing between nine and fifteen Palestinians, including children and families, despite U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of a ceasefire breakthrough. Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen stated there was no deal to halt attacks and emphasized the need for Israel to take full control of Gaza if Hamas does not disarm. Palestinian officials reported strikes across Gaza City, Deir al-Balah, Khan Younis, and Jabalia, targeting Hamas operatives. Hamas has conditioned disarmament on Israeli withdrawal, which Israel has not agreed to.
