At least 15 Palestinians, including eight children and two women, were killed and others wounded in an Israeli strike outside Project Hope’s Altayara clinic in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, as people queued for nutritional supplements, according to al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital and the aid group. Verified footage showed children among the casualties. Project Hope and UNICEF condemned the attack as a violation of international law; Israel said it targeted a Hamas Nukhba member involved in the 7 October attacks and expressed regret over civilian harm, adding it is reviewing the incident. The strike occurred amid ongoing but stalled ceasefire talks mediated by the US, Qatar, and Egypt, with gaps persisting between Israel and Hamas. Separately, five people, including children, were reported killed in an Israeli drone strike on tents in al-Mawasi. The EU announced measures to expand aid access, while the UN warned fuel deliveries remain far below needs. Since 7 October, Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry reports at least 57,762 deaths, as widespread displacement and infrastructure collapse continue.

Despite meetings in Washington between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former President Donald Trump and ongoing talks in Qatar, no Gaza ceasefire deal has been reached, with an Israeli official suggesting it could take up to 20 more days. Israeli strikes continued across Gaza, with hospital workers reporting at least 55 Palestinians killed. A missile hit outside Project HOPE’s Altayara clinic in Deir al-Balah, killing 15 civilians, including 10 children and two women, as people waited for treatment; the IDF said it targeted a Hamas participant in the Oct. 7 attack and is investigating. The IDF reported ongoing operations in Khan Younis and announced a soldier was killed during an abduction attempt, bringing Israeli military deaths in Gaza this week to six and to 18 over the past three weeks, intensifying domestic pressure on Netanyahu to accept a ceasefire.

- Israeli officials told Sky News a permanent Gaza ceasefire is unlikely unless Hamas is fully dismantled; even a 60-day truce appears unlikely within the next week or two.
- Netanyahu’s goals remain returning hostages and eliminating Hamas; Israel insists any lasting deal requires Hamas to disarm or be removed as a political and military force.
- A key sticking point is the IDF’s presence inside Gaza during and after a proposed 60-day ceasefire; Hamas and Trump envoy Steve Witkoff rejected Israel’s latest redeployment map.
- Israel says it has no intention to govern Gaza long-term but wants military control “in every square metre” until Hamas is defeated; those who disarm may live, officials said.
- Netanyahu rules out a two-state solution “for the foreseeable future,” arguing Palestinians’ stance threatens Israel’s existence.
- On displacement, an official claimed up to 60% of Palestinians would choose to leave temporarily and could return after Hamas’s removal; critics call any “voluntary” movement coercive given Gaza’s devastation.

At least 15 people, including 10 children and two women, were killed by an airstrike near a Project Hope health clinic in Deir al Balah, Gaza, as patients waited for it to open. The aid group condemned the strike as a violation of international humanitarian law and suspended clinic operations; some victims had been waiting for nutritional supplements amid severe shortages. The Israeli military said it was targeting a militant involved in the 7 October attacks and is investigating, expressing regret for harm to civilians. Separately, Nasser Hospital reported 21 more deaths from strikes in Khan Younis and Muwasi, including a mother and three children. The incidents come amid negotiations over a proposed 60-day Gaza ceasefire, with reported U.S. pressure on Israel and disputes over IDF presence during any truce. The conflict has killed over 57,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s health ministry, since Hamas’s October 2023 attack that killed about 1,200 people in Israel and led to ongoing hostage issues central to ceasefire talks. An Israeli soldier was also killed in a tunnel attack this week, and a 22-year-old Israeli man was killed in a West Bank shooting.
