Israeli strikes kill two in Gaza, destroy medicine storage warehouses
The military said it hit Hamas hideouts and weapons depots, while health officials said vital medical supplies for patients were lost or destroyed.
On Saturday, Israeli strikes in Gaza killed two Palestinians in the Sheikh Radwan area of Gaza City, while separate attacks destroyed two medical warehouses near the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah.
Israel's military claimed the individuals targeted in Gaza City were Hamas militants, though it declined to provide further details, citing that armed groups operate from within civilian areas and facilities.
Doctor Khalil al-Daqran said the strike 'completely destroyed' a warehouse containing essential medical supplies for kidney failure patients, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
These attacks occur amid uncertainty regarding Israel's acceptance of a U.S.-mediated peace plan announced Thursday by President Donald Trump, which requires Hamas to disarm and Israel to cease military operations.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called the proposed agreement 'unacceptable,' while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not yet publicly commented on the roadmap to cease operations.
