  • Gaza ceasefire deal becomes fragile amid sporadic Israeli strikes

The Israeli military has been conducting sporadic strikes in the Gaza Strip, as talks on the second phase of the ceasefire agreement continue.

Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas remain at odds over the second phase of the deal. The second phase calls for a complete withdrawal of Israel's troops from the territory and a permanent end to the fighting.

But Israel's assaults in Gaza have continued sporadically. Local media outlets report that one person was killed and several others were wounded during an Israeli drone attack in a central part of the territory on Sunday.

The attack came one day after nine people were killed in an Israeli assault in northern Gaza.

Health authorities in the Strip said on Sunday that 48,572 people have died since the current conflict began in October of 2023.
