Israeli Airstrike Kills Five in Gaza Amid Stalled Ceasefire Talks

Israeli Airstrike Kills Five in Gaza Amid Stalled Ceasefire TalksPreviousNext

An Israeli airstrike struck an apartment building in Gaza City early October 3, killing at least five Palestinians, including four women. Health and civil defense officials reported the casualties, with no immediate comment from the Israeli military. The strike occurred amid stalled peace negotiations following a US-brokered ceasefire last year, with Israel accusing Hamas of violating terms by rearming, while Hamas denies these claims. Gaza health officials report over 1,400 Palestinian deaths and Israel reports four soldier deaths since the ceasefire.
