Israeli fire kills three Palestinians in Gaza

Israeli fire killed three Palestinians in separate incidents across Gaza on Sunday, medics said, as US envoys met Israel’s prime minister to push efforts aimed at advancing talks under a fragile ceasefire.

According to Gaza’s health ministry, at least two people were killed east of the Tuffah neighbourhood in northern Gaza, while a 41-year-old man was shot dead by Israeli forces in Khan Younis in the south.

Medical workers earlier said an Israeli drone exploded on the rooftop of a multi-storey building in Gaza City, wounding four civilians who were nearby on the street.

An Israeli military spokesperson said they were not aware of any fatal shooting involving a Palestinian in Khan Younis and had no immediate comment on the reported incident in Tuffah.

Meanwhile, US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel on Saturday, with discussions focused largely on Gaza.

“The discussion was constructive and positive, with both sides aligned on next steps and the importance of continued cooperation on all matters critical to the region,” Witkoff said in a post on X.
