Israeli strikes kill at least eight in Gaza as disarmament roadmap stalls

7 sources

Gaza's civil defence says Israeli strikes killed at least eight people across the Strip on Sunday, days after Hamas accepted a US-brokered disarmament deal. Israel has not said publicly whether it accepts the terms.

What happened

  • Trump's Board of Peace published a 15-point roadmap for last year's ceasefire; Hamas confirmed on Friday, 31 July, it would disarm.
  • An Israeli strike a day later destroyed two of Al-Aqsa hospital's four medicine warehouses in central Gaza, Gaza's health ministry said.
  • Israel's army said the site stored Hamas weapons and that it had warned residents; the hospital's spokesman rejected that claim.
  • Sunday's dead include a man and woman hit by an Israeli helicopter strike south of Deir al-Balah.
  • Gaza's health ministry counted 152 people killed in July, its highest monthly toll this year.

The view from outside

Al Jazeera alone reports a former Fatah official in the UAE saying Trump's senior adviser on the plan told him he is working with Israel to stop the strikes. Tolls diverge: Reuters headlines four dead on Sunday, Le Monde counts at least 16 since Saturday.

What could happen next

  • The roadmap remains unimplemented: no disarmament and no Israeli withdrawal have begun.
  • Israel has not officially responded; its prime minister has made no public statement on the deal.
  • Hamas and Islamic Jihad officials in Cairo demanded on Saturday that Israel be compelled to stop all attacks.
How the camps see it

  • Israel: Says it struck Hamas members and weapons stores, and that troops will not leave current positions without genuine disarmament.

  • Hamas: Says it will hand over heavy weapons for storage only after Israel halts its attacks and withdraws, calling the ball Israel's.
