According to the Palestinian Civil Defence agency, at least seven individuals have been killed in Gaza since dawn on Wednesday. A spokesperson for the agency stated that two of the fatalities resulted from an Israeli drone strike that targeted the rooftop of a residential building in the al-Reis neighborhood of Gaza City.

These reports follow a period of diplomatic activity regarding the ongoing conflict. On Tuesday, Hamas officials announced that the group had formally agreed to a peace proposal intended to advance the next phases of a ceasefire framework previously outlined by U.S. President Joe Biden.

While the Civil Defence agency provided these figures, there has been no immediate confirmation or specific comment from the Israeli military regarding these particular strikes. The situation remains fluid, with the reported deaths occurring against the backdrop of broader, stalled ceasefire negotiations between Hamas and Israel. Because only one primary source provided details on these specific incidents, there is currently no corroborating information from independent international observers or Israeli military briefings to confirm the exact circumstances or the identities of those killed.
