At least six Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes and gunfire across the Gaza Strip on Sunday, 14 June, according to local health officials, as mediators intensified efforts to keep fragile ceasefire negotiations alive.
Medical sources said four people were killed in an air strike near Al-Yeman Al-Saeed Hospital in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza. Two others were reported killed in separate shooting incidents in Khan Younis and Gaza City.
The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the reported incidents.
The latest deaths came as Egypt, Qatar and Türkiye concluded a week of talks with Hamas and other Palestinian factions aimed at advancing the next phase of a U.S.-backed ceasefire plan.
The proposed second stage would include the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and the disarmament of Hamas.
An October 2025 truce brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump significantly reduced large-scale fighting but has failed to bring a lasting end to the conflict.
Health officials in Gaza say more than 950 people have been killed in Israeli strikes since the ceasefire came into effect. Israel says four of its soldiers have been killed by Palestinian militants during the same period.
Hamas argues that progress has stalled because Israel has not fully implemented commitments agreed during the first phase of the ceasefire. Israel says its military operations are intended to prevent planned attacks by Hamas and other armed groups.
On Sunday, Hamas and several other Palestinian factions submitted a written response to a 15-point proposal presented by mediators and representatives of Trump's Board of Peace.
No details of the response were released publicly. However, sources familiar with the discussions said agreement had been reached on 14 of the 15 points.
The main sticking point remains the future of Hamas's armed wing.
According to sources close to the negotiations, Hamas says any complete disarmament must be linked to a political process leading towards the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Israel, meanwhile, maintains that Hamas must disarm, relinquish power in Gaza and have no role in governing the strip in the future.
With talks continuing behind closed doors, mediators are attempting to bridge the remaining gap and prevent further deterioration in the security situation.
While negotiators appear to have made progress on most issues, the unresolved dispute over Hamas's weapons remains the biggest challenge to securing a broader and more durable agreement.
