Israel Palestinian Strike

Israeli forces carried out a "targeted strike" on an individual in central Gaza who was planning to attack Israeli troops.



A U.S.-backed ceasefire is in force between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas more than two years after the war in the Gaza Strip began, but each side has accused the other of violations.



Israel said it had targeted a member of Islamic Jihad.



The Palestinian militant group did not immediately comment on the assertion.



Witnesses say they had seen a drone strike a car and set it ablaze.



Local medics said four people had been wounded, but there were no immediate reports of deaths.



In a separate indcident, witnesses alleged that Israeli tanks had shelled eastern areas of Gaza City.



The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment.



Several Israeli media sites said Israel, in a reversal of a policy of barring entry to foreign forces, had allowed Egyptian officials into the Gaza Strip to help locate the bodies of hostages taken captive in the Hamas-led attack on Israeli communities on October 7, 2023, that triggered the war.
