- A Tuesday evening strike on a seaside cafe in Gaza killed seven Palestinians, including a child, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
- Jared Kushner met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday and, according to a person familiar with the meeting, asked Israel to draw down attacks in Gaza.

Israeli airstrikes in Gaza on Wednesday killed at least 10 people, according to local hospitals and the Palestinian Red Crescent, and deepened uncertainty around efforts to preserve a fragile ceasefire. The strikes came just two days after U.S. negotiators reportedly urged Israel to scale back attacks in the territory.
The Israeli military said one strike in the Nuseirat refugee camp area killed a Hamas commander it said had taken part in the Oct. 7, 2023 attack on southern Israel. It also said another strike in Gaza City hit four Hamas militants gathered in a police station, which the military said they were using to plan attacks on Israeli forces.
Witnesses and a Hamas official said Israeli troops crossed the ceasefire line in southern Gaza and detained a Hamas police colonel at dawn. The Hamas-run Interior Ministry said the Gaza City police station strike killed eight police officers and a 13-year-old girl, while one person was killed in Nuseirat.
The report also said Jared Kushner, a U.S. negotiator and President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday and asked him to reduce attacks on Gaza. Separately, Israel’s military said it had finished reviews of 150 wartime incidents and would open criminal investigations into several past killings of Palestinians, including a child and her family and a group of paramedics.
以军在加沙致命空袭令停火进展蒙阴，距库什纳访问仅数日
周三，加沙多地遭遇以色列空袭，导致至少10人死亡。当地医院和巴勒斯坦红新月会提供了这一数字。就在两天前，美国谈判人员据称曾要求以色列减少在该地区的攻击，这一轮袭击使维持脆弱停火的前景更加不确定。
以色列军方表示，努塞拉特难民营一带的一次空袭打死了一名哈马斯指挥官，军方称其参与了2023年10月7日对以色列南部的袭击。军方还说，加沙城的一次空袭击中了4名聚集在警察局内的哈马斯武装人员，称这些人正策划袭击以军。
目击者和一名哈马斯官员说，以军在周三黎明越过加沙南部停火线，并拘留了一名哈马斯警察上校。哈马斯控制的内政部则称，加沙城警察局遭袭造成8名警察和一名13岁女孩死亡，努塞拉特另有1人丧生。
报道还提到，作为美国谈判代表、也是特朗普总统女婿的贾里德·库什纳周一会见内塔尼亚胡，并要求以色列减少对加沙的攻击。另方面，以军表示，已完成对150起战时事件的审查，并将就几起巴勒斯坦平民遇害事件展开刑事调查。
