Gaza: Dead, wounded, and progress in ceasefire talks

Six civilians, including a child, were killed and others injured tonight in an Israeli airstrike on a medical clinic in central Gaza City.

Local sources reported that six civilians, including a child, were killed and 15 others injured in an Israeli airstrike targeting a room in the Al-Rimal Clinic on Al-Wahda Street in central Gaza City.

Medical sources reported that 100 civilians, including 11 aid recipients, were killed on Sunday.

In Gaza City, 56 citizens were killed, including 30 in the bombing of two homes housing displaced people in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, northwest of the city; 7 martyrs in the bombing of the Abu Asi School, which houses displaced people in the Shati refugee camp, west of the city; 8 martyrs in two raids that targeted two gatherings of citizens in the Al-Rimal neighborhood in the center of the city; 4 martyrs in the bombing of a home in the Al-Daraj neighborhood, east of the city; and 3 martyrs in the bombing of a vehicle in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood.

Two women were also killed in an Israeli drone strike on the al-Tuffah neighborhood east of the city, and another was killed in an airstrike targeting a tent housing displaced persons west of the city. The bodies of two other martyrs were also recovered from the al-Shuja'iyya neighborhood east of the city, having been killed as a result of Israeli shelling around the Sabha Medical Center.

In the central Gaza Strip, 26 citizens were killed, including 8 people waiting for aid near the Wadi Gaza Bridge, south of the Shuhada Junction. Seven were killed in a bombing that targeted a tent housing displaced people west of the Nuseirat camp. Four were killed in a bombing that targeted a house in the camp. Four were killed in a bombing that targeted a gathering of citizens north of the camp. Three were killed in a bombing that targeted a charitable hospice north of Deir al-Balah.

In the southern Gaza Strip, 18 civilians were killed, including 8 killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting tents housing displaced people in the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Yunis, 3 killed by Israeli fire while waiting to receive aid northwest of Rafah, 3 killed by Israeli airstrikes while waiting to receive aid northwest of Rafah, 3 killed by Israeli fire while being recovered from various areas in Khan Yunis, and 2 killed by wounds sustained in a previous airstrike.

A citizen was also killed by Israeli occupation forces' fire in the town of Bani Suhaila, east of Khan Yunis, and another was killed in an Israeli shelling that targeted a gathering of citizens near Abu Hamid roundabout in the center of Khan Yunis.

In contrast, the Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced that it had targeted the settlements of Nirim and Ein HaShem in the Gaza Envelope with a number of Rajum rockets.

Israeli media also reported that two soldiers were injured when an anti-tank missile hit a military vehicle in the northern Gaza Strip, at a time when resistance operations are escalating amid anticipation of a possible prisoner exchange deal.

Politically, the Israeli negotiating delegation arrived in the Qatari capital, Doha, to officially begin negotiations, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu traveled to Washington to discuss the future of the Gaza Strip and the exchange deal with US President Donald Trump.

Trump announced that "the United States is very close to reaching a deal on Gaza," adding that there is a "great chance" of concluding an agreement with Hamas to release a large number of hostages.

However, Reuters quoted Palestinian officials as saying that the first round of ceasefire talks in Qatar ended without conclusive results.

The two officials explained that the Israeli delegation lacks sufficient authority, which is hindering the achievement of an agreement. Israeli officials asserted that the next 24 hours will be crucial for progress in the talks.
