At least 13 killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza after Hamas agree disarmament deal

Officials say two people were killed in the attack on Gaza City At least 13 people, including several children, have been killed in the latest strikes on Gaza, Palestinian officials have said. Gaza's Civil Defence Authority said Israeli military aircraft carried out the attacks on Gaza City, Khan Younis and Deir el-Balah. It was the second successive night of Israeli strikes on the territory, and it comes days after Hamas accepted a disarmament plan, which would see the Palestinian group hand over its weapons to US President Donald Trump's Board of Peace. A spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), said it was targeting military operatives in Gaza, and two Hamas militants were killed. The Israeli Energy Minister, Eli Cohen, said on Sunday that no deal had been reached to stop attacks on the Gaza Strip, a territory now under 70% Israeli control.
