Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip on Thursday killed at least three people, including two children, according to health officials.
The Israeli military accused Hamas of using a mosque to store weapons. The Hamas-run government’s media office stated that Israel’s claims aimed to justify its attacks on mosques.
These bombings took place as Hamas officials met with Qatari, Egyptian, and Turkish mediators in Cairo to discuss a truce. These talks are intended to work towards the full implementation of a U.S.-brokered Gaza peace plan.
The negotiations remain focused on a plan involving aid, a civilian administration, and the removal of weapons from Gaza.
