Israeli strikes kill Gaza civilians as ceasefire talks stall over disarmament dispute

Daily Sabah (Turkey)—Talks aimed at a broader ceasefire have stalled specifically over Israel's failure to complete a promised withdrawal and Hamas's refusal to disarm, turning what began as a truce into a fragile standoff punctuated by continued strikes. More than 1,200 Palestinians and five Israeli soldiers have died since the truce took effect, indicating it has not meaningfully stopped the violence it was meant to pause. The latest strikes hit a refugee camp near Khan Younis, while a separate strike killed an 18-month-old child in Bureij. A diplomat says talks are still moving toward a roadmap to fully decommission weapons in Gaza, suggesting negotiators view the impasse as temporary rather than a collapse of the process.
