Israeli Strikes Kill At Least 19 Across Gaza Despite Disarmament Plan

Israeli warplanes and drones struck multiple sites across Gaza, killing at least 19 Palestinians in the biggest daily death toll in weeks — days after Trump's announcement of the Board of Peace disarmament agreement. Strikes hit the al-Sousi Tower in Gaza City (killing Abdullah Abu Taif, his pregnant wife, and their child), al-Qarara near Khan Younis (killing the Al-Hams family — father, wife, and daughter, with 3 wounded), Deir al-Balah (killing an elderly couple in their home and two brothers on a motorbike), Jabalia refugee camp, and al-Mawasi near Khan Younis (1 killed, 5 wounded in a tent strike). The Israeli military said one strike on an apartment in Deir al-Balah targeted two commanders of Hamas's elite Nukhba force. Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen said there had been 'no deal to halt attacks on Gaza,' emphasizing 'Hamas must be dismantled.'
