Israel kills eight in Gaza despite Trump Hamas disarmament plan | Israel - Palestine conflict News
EVENT SUMMARY
Israeli forces killed at least eight Palestinians in strikes across the Gaza Strip on Sunday, including in Deir el-Balah, Khan Younis, and Gaza City. These strikes occurred two days after the US unveiled a roadmap for Hamas disarmament and Israeli withdrawal, a plan that has yet to be implemented on the ground.

What Happened
Israeli forces killed at least eight Palestinians in strikes across the Gaza Strip on Sunday, according to the Palestinian Civil Defence. A helicopter strike hit an apartment south of Deir el-Balah, killing a man and woman. Three people were killed in Khan Younis and one in Gaza City’s Old City. The attacks occurred two days after the US Board of Peace published a 15-point roadmap for implementing last year’s Gaza ceasefire agreement, which calls for Hamas disarmament and an Israeli withdrawal. Hamas has conditioned weapons handover on a full halt of military operations and Israeli pullout. An Israeli official told Reuters there would be no withdrawal unless Hamas undergoes ‘genuine disarmament’. Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir publicly rejected the roadmap and urged continued targeting of Hamas leaders. Separately, an Israeli strike destroyed a medical supply warehouse in central Gaza on Saturday, leaving a crater 20 metres wide and 10 metres deep.
Key Actors
  • ·
    IDF(Israel Defense Forces – military of Israel)Conducted helicopter and other strikes across Gaza, killing at least eight people and destroying a medical warehouse, continuing military operations despite the ceasefire roadmap.
  • ·
    Hamas(De-facto governing authority in Gaza; Palestinian militant organisation)Said it will hand over weapons for storage only after Israel halts military operations and withdraws forces, in line with the 2023 ceasefire agreement.
  • ·
    US Board of Peace(Trump administration initiative led by Jared Kushner)Published a 15-point roadmap for implementing the ceasefire, working with Israel and regional actors to halt attacks, according to former Fatah official Mohammed Dahlan.
  • ·
    Itamar Ben-Gvir(Israeli National Security Minister and far-right coalition member)Called the US roadmap unacceptable and stated Israel should continue targeting Hamas leaders, rejecting disarmament and withdrawal conditions.
Why It Matters
The Sunday strikes demonstrate a persistent gap between diplomatic ceasefire frameworks and ongoing military operations. Even as the US proposes a roadmap linking Hamas disarmament to Israeli withdrawal, both sides hold maximalist positions—Hamas demanding a full halt of strikes before disarming, and Israeli officials insisting on disarmament before any pullback. The violence undermines ceasefire credibility and complicates mediator efforts by Egypt and Qatar, risking further escalation and delaying humanitarian access.
Watch For
Whether Israel adopts or publicly addresses the US roadmap; Hamas’s response to continued strikes and its willingness to proceed with conditional disarmament; reactions from Qatar and Egypt as mediators; potential escalation if Israeli strikes persist or expand; and any change in Netanyahu’s public stance on the initiative.
