Fresh Israeli airstrikes have struck multiple locations across the Gaza Strip, killing at least two people and injuring 10 others, even as hopes rise for a new ceasefire agreement.

According to reports, an Israeli strike hit a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp after evacuation warnings were issued. Additional strikes in Deir al-Balah also resulted in casualties. Meanwhile, families across Gaza continue searching for loved ones who remain missing amid the ongoing conflict.

Trump said Israel was "very happy" with the agreement and described it as a major diplomatic breakthrough.

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced what he describes as a historic agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas, calling it a crucial step toward establishing a new governing authority in Gaza and advancing long-term peace in the region.

According to reports, mediators in Cairo have proposed a framework under which Hamas would gradually surrender its weapons, while Israeli forces would withdraw in phases. However, Israel has not fully endorsed the proposal, insisting that there will be no military withdrawal until Gaza is completely demilitarized.

Hamas has responded by saying that any handover of its heavy weapons will depend on Israel ending its military operations, withdrawing its forces, and committing to a permanent ceasefire. The proposed agreement also includes an international stabilization force and a new Palestinian police structure to oversee Gaza's future security.

July 3, 2026, marks 1,000 days of relentless conflict in Gaza, a period defined by massive loss and a failed promise of peace. Despite the ceasefire declared in October 2025, Israeli military operations, movement restrictions, and administrative fragmentation have left Gaza in a state of deepening humanitarian collapse. More than 73,000 people have been killed since the war began, and over 1,000 more have died—including 265 children—even after the ceasefire. With schools destroyed, hospitals non-functional, and the population squeezed into shrinking, overcrowded zones, the region faces a future of extreme uncertainty.
