Israeli Strike in Gaza City Kills Two Amid Fragile Ceasefire

While the U.S.-brokered ceasefire successfully curtailed large-scale military operations, sporadic strikes persist, straining the fragile peace process. Hamas leadership argues these actions systematically undermine broader diplomatic efforts. Since the cessation of major hostilities, Gaza health authorities report over 1,300 Palestinian fatalities, the vast majority being civilians. Conversely, Israel reports the loss of four soldiers during the same period. The ongoing friction continues to complicate long-term stability in the territory.
