At least four Palestinians were killed in fresh Israeli airstrikes across Gaza, according to local health officials, despite US President Donald Trump announcing a diplomatic breakthrough aimed at advancing a ceasefire. The strikes hit multiple locations, including areas sheltering displaced civilians, while military operations continued across the enclave. Humanitarian conditions remain dire, with shortages of food, medicine, and essential supplies worsening the crisis. Although renewed diplomatic efforts have raised hopes for a ceasefire and hostage-prisoner agreement, no final deal has been reached. Fighting continues on the ground as mediators work to secure a lasting truce between Israel and Hamas. (PC: Reuters)
