Israel's deadly Gaza strikes cast doubt on ceasefire progress days after Kushner visit
- Deadly Israeli airstrikes in Gaza on Wednesday raised fresh doubts about whether U.S. efforts could advance the fragile ceasefire in the territory.
- Local hospitals and the Palestinian Red Crescent said at least 10 people were killed in two Wednesday strikes, while one person was killed in Nuseirat.
- Israel's military said one strike in Nuseirat hit a Hamas commander involved in the Oct. 7, 2023 attack, and another in Gaza City's Tuffah area struck a Hamas commander planning attacks on Israeli troops.
- A Tuesday evening strike on a seaside cafe in Gaza City killed seven Palestinians, including a child, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.
- The article said Jared Kushner met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday and asked Israel to draw down attacks in Gaza; on Wednesday Israel also said it would open criminal investigations into two wartime killings after reviewing 150 incidents.
Deadly Israeli strikes in Gaza on Wednesday undercut hopes that a recent U.S. push could help move the ceasefire forward. The attacks came two days after U.S. negotiators reportedly asked Israel to reduce its operations in the strip.
Local hospitals and the Palestinian Red Crescent said at least 10 people were killed in Wednesday's strikes, including nine in an attack on a police station in Gaza City and one in Nuseirat. Israel said the strikes targeted Hamas commanders, including one linked to the Oct. 7, 2023 attack and another said to be planning attacks on Israeli troops.
The violence followed a Tuesday night strike on a seaside cafe in Gaza City that killed seven Palestinians, including a child. The article also said Jared Kushner met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday and urged Israel to scale back attacks, while the Israeli military said it would launch criminal investigations into two wartime killings after reviewing 150 incidents.
以色列在加沙的致命空袭让停火进展再度受疑,距库什纳访问仅数日
周三加沙发生的致命以色列空袭,让外界对近期美国推动停火前景的期待再次受挫。报道说,这些袭击发生在美国谈判人员据称要求以色列减少在加沙地带军事行动的两天后。
当地医院和巴勒斯坦红新月会表示,周三的空袭至少造成10人死亡,其中加沙城一处警察局遇袭造成9人死亡、1人在努塞拉特死亡。以色列方面则称,打击目标是哈马斯指挥官,其中包括一名参与2023年10月7日袭击的人,以及另一名被指正在策划针对以军的袭击。
此前一晚,加沙城一家海边咖啡馆遭空袭,造成7名巴勒斯坦人死亡,其中包括一名儿童。报道还称,美国总统特朗普的女婿、美国谈判人员贾里德·库什纳周一会见以色列总理内塔尼亚胡时,要求以方减少对加沙的攻击;以军周三表示,在审查150起事件后,将就两起战争中的致死事件启动刑事调查。
