At least 13 killed in Gaza after Hamas agree disarmament deal


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.

Cohen added that he saw a need for the strip to be placed under the full control of Israel if Hamas did not disarm – despite the Board of Peace plan for Israel to pull out of the territory – the Reuters news agency reported.

In a post on X on Sunday, the IDF said it had killed two Hamas commanders, one from the elite Nukbha force, and one from the Maghazi Battalion.

The IDF also said killed another Hamas militant from the Jabalia Battalion in northern Gaza in a separate attack last week. It said all three were planning to attack Israeli targets.

Palestinian health officials said two people, including a child, were killed in a strike on a residential building in Gaza City, while another person was killed near Jabalia in northern Gaza.

A father, mother and their nine-year-old son were killed after a strike on a house in Khan Younis, and a man and woman died after their apartment block was struck in Deir el-Balah.

More than 1,100 Palestinians have been killed since a supposed ceasefire came into effect last October.
