Eight Palestinians, including two children, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a house in Gaza City and a tent housing displaced people in Khan Yunis, according to what the Palestinian news agency WAFA reported, citing sources at Nasser Medical Complex.
Sources said that two children were killed and eight others were injured when an Israeli drone bombed a tent housing displaced persons in the Al-Mawasi area, northwest of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip.
A drone bombed two homes belonging to the Al-Mazloum and Al-Rafati families in the Al-Mashahra area of the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, northeast of Gaza City, killing six Palestinians and wounding others. A number of people remain missing under the rubble.
In Gaza City, the occupation army carried out extensive bombing and detonation operations using drones and booby-trapped vehicles in the Sabra and Tal al-Hawa neighborhoods in the south, and the Rimal and al-Nasr neighborhoods and the Beach Camp in the west. The army also intensified its aerial and artillery bombardment of various areas of the city, especially the vicinity of the al-Ghafari Intersection (central) and al-Nafaq Street (northeast).
"crazy bombing"
"Gaza City is currently being subjected to insane, merciless Israeli bombardment," said Major Mahmoud Basal, a spokesman for the Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip .
This comes as the Israeli army radio and the official Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported that the political echelon had directed "a halt to the occupation of Gaza City" and "to reduce military activity in the Strip to a purely defensive nature."
This coincided with a statement from Netanyahu's office stating that "Israel, in light of Hamas's response, is preparing to implement the first phase of the Trump plan for the immediate release of all hostages."
However, the Israeli military warned Gaza City residents on Saturday against returning to the city, explaining in a statement that "the area north of Wadi Gaza is still considered a dangerous combat zone, and remaining there poses a significant risk. Therefore, Rashid Street remains open for you to move south."
The statement added that the army forces "continue to surround Gaza City, and any attempt to return to it would be extremely dangerous," warning Palestinians against "returning north or approaching areas where the forces operate anywhere in the Strip, even in the south."
On Friday evening, Hamas said in a statement that it had submitted its response to the Trump plan for Gaza to the mediators, announcing its agreement to the release of all Israeli prisoners, living and dead.
Hamas also renewed its agreement to hand over control of the Gaza Strip to a Palestinian body of independent technocrats, based on Palestinian national consensus and Arab and Islamic support. However, it emphasized that the future of the Gaza Strip and the rights of the people would be discussed within a Palestinian framework.
Tel Aviv estimates that there are 48 Israeli prisoners in Gaza, 20 of whom are still alive. Meanwhile, some 11,100 Palestinians languish in its prisons, suffering torture, starvation, and medical neglect. Many of these Palestinians have been killed, according to Palestinian and Israeli prisoners in Gaza, 20 of whom are still alive.

On September 29, Trump announced a 20-point plan, including the release of Israeli prisoners held in Gaza within 72 hours of Israel's acceptance of the plan, a ceasefire, and the disarmament of Hamas.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with American support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, leaving 66,288 martyrs and 169,165 wounded, most of them children and women, and a famine that has claimed the lives of 457 Palestinians, including 152 children.
