Today, at least nine Palestinians died because of Israeli airstrikes on several locations in the Gaza Strip, although US President Donald Trump said that there is progress regarding the implementation of a ceasefire agreement.

According to Palestinian authorities, the airstrikes took place in Gaza City, Deir al-Balah, Khan Younis, and Jabalia, leading to the deaths of a number of people, including children. The Israeli military also said that some of the airstrikes hit the Hamas commanders and their members.

On the other hand, Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen said that there was no agreement for halting the military operations and insisted that Gaza Strip should be controlled by Israelis fully. There are disagreements preventing the ceasefire process.
