Gaza Reels from Israeli Strikes as Ceasefire Talks Gain Momentum

At least 60 Palestinians were killed in a series of Israeli airstrikes across Gaza late Friday into Saturday, according to health officials, as diplomatic efforts to broker a ceasefire appear to be gaining traction.

The strikes targeted multiple locations, including a shelter near Palestine Stadium in Gaza City and residential buildings, resulting in dozens of casualties. Hospitals in Gaza, including Shifa and Nasser, reported receiving scores of bodies, many of them women and children.

The escalation comes amid growing international pressure to end the 21-month-long conflict, which has claimed over 56,000 Palestinian lives, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Friday that a ceasefire agreement could be reached “within the next week,” signaling renewed diplomatic engagement.

As negotiations resume, families of hostages and civilians alike await a breakthrough that could bring an end to the suffering on both sides.
