Israeli Strikes in Gaza Kill Nine, Including Four Journalists, as Truce Faces Collapse

Negotiations between Israel and Hamas continue under mediation, but recent violence threatens the fragile ceasefire in place since January.

Israeli airstrikes in Beit Lahia, Gaza, killed nine people, including four journalists and humanitarian workers, in what Hamas calls a violation of the ceasefire.
The Israeli military claims the strikes targeted operatives involved in drone operations, while Palestinian sources allege systematic targeting of journalists.
The truce, established on January 19 after over a year of conflict, remains tenuous, with both sides accusing each other of breaches and ongoing violence reported in the region.
Negotiations in Doha, mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and the U.S., aim to resolve disputes over hostage releases and other terms of the ceasefire agreement.
Public pressure is mounting in Israel, with protests in Tel Aviv demanding the government secure the release of all hostages held in Gaza.
