Israeli attacks today in the Gaza Strip claimed the lives of at least six people, including a 9-year-old girl, Palestinian health officials announced, while mediators are holding new talks to maintain the ceasefire brokered by the U.S.

According to medical personnel, Israeli artillery fire targeting tents on the eastern side of the Al-Bureij in central Gaza killed 9-year-old Tala Abu Matar. The Israeli armed forces stated that they had no knowledge of the incident.

An airstrike on a metal foundry in the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City also claimed the lives of four people. Eyewitnesses said the facility was struck by three Israeli missiles.

The IDF claims to have struck “terrorist” infrastructure

The Israeli armed forces told Reuters that they struck “terrorist” infrastructure, without providing further details.

Furthermore, the armed forces announced that since Thursday they have killed at least two Hamas militants in northern Gaza, who were planning attacks against Israeli soldiers.

Later today, an Israeli strike on a tent camp in the Ma’wasi area of Khan Yunis, in the southern part of Gaza, killed one person and injured others, including children, according to medical personnel.

The Israeli armed forces have not yet commented.

These latest violent incidents come as Hamas leaders are visiting Cairo for further talks on the implementation of the second phase of U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza.

The talks include the disarmament of Hamas and the withdrawal of Israeli forces, according to sources close to the talks, who added, however, that no substantial progress has been made yet.
