Eight Killed in Gaza Strikes Amid Trump Peace Plan Claims
Israeli forces carried out night attacks on Gaza, killing eight people, including two children.
These deaths bring the total to 18 in the last three days since President Trump said a peace plan had been reached.
The attacks hit families in western Gaza City, near Khan Younis, and in central Gaza.
Trump said the plan would end Hamas’s weapons and let Israel pull back.
A political source said Israel would not leave until Hamas truly disarmed, while the UN says Israel’s actions amount to genocide.
Eight people, including two children, were killed in Israeli overnight strikes on Gaza on Sunday.
The deaths bring the total to 18 in the past three days since President Trump announced a “Board of Peace” agreement.
The strikes hit western Gaza City, near Khan Younis, and central Gaza, killing families such as the Abu Taif and Al‑Hams families.
Trump said the agreement would bring “complete disarmament” of Hamas and other armed groups, while Hamas reportedly agreed to hand over weapons and Israel would gradually withdraw.
An Israeli political source said no withdrawal would occur until Hamas’ “genuine disarmament”, and the UN commission has accused Israel of genocide.
