Middle East latest: Israel kills 8 Palestinians in Gaza as Hamas says ceasefire talks resume
Israeli fire has killed eight Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and three more in the occupied West Bank over the past 24 hours, Palestinian officials said Tuesday, even as a fragile ceasefire with Hamas in Gaza has largely held since late January. Israeli forces have killed dozens of Palestinians in Gaza during the ceasefire who the military says had approached its troops or entered unauthorized areas.
The U.N. humanitarian office is reporting that fuel for backup generators at water and health facilities is running low, cooking gas prices are rising, and distribution of flour, fresh produce and tents and other shelter materials have been disrupted, U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said. Israel plans to allow members of the Druze minority from Syria to work in Israeli-controlled parts of the Golan Heights as soon as the coming week, Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a statement Tuesday issued from Mt. Hermon. He stressed that Israel plans to remain in the Syrian buffer zone for an “indefinite period” to ensure that southern Syria remains demilitarized and does not pose a threat to residents of Israel or the Golan Heights.
The deal between Syria’s interim government and the Kurdish-led authority in country’s northeast includes a ceasefire and would merge the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces into the Syrian army. Turkey deems the Kurdish forces in Syria as “terrorists” because of their links to the banned Kurdistan Workers’ Part.
Imad Muna, one of the owners, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that police showed him no search or arrest warrant before taking him in for questioning along with around 40 books – all with some kind of “icon or keyword related to the conflict or related to Palestine or related to the Israeli occupation.”
Lebanon’s National News Agency reported two Israeli drone strikes in the Froun area on a vehicle, about 20 minutes apart. There were no immediate reports of casualties and Hezbollah did not immediately comment. The area around the strait in the past has seen Iran seize commercial ships and launch suspected attacks in the time since President Donald Trump first unilaterally withdrew America from Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers.
Monitoring groups said hundreds of civilians were killed in the clashes that broke out last week. Revenge attacks primarily targeted members of the Alawite religious minority to which ousted Syrian leader Bashar Assad belongs. The Civil Defense, which operates under the Hamas-run government, said Tuesday’s strike was carried out near the Netzarim corridor, where Israeli forces had carved out a military zone bisecting the territory before withdrawing from the area as part of a fragile ceasefire.
The West Bank has seen a surge in violence, including settler attacks on Palestinians, since the war in Gaza began in October 2023. “Israel is committed to preventing what we saw in Syria this weekend from happening on our border,” Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel said at a news conference in Jerusalem.
