""It was a very violent night, during which the (Israeli army) carried out dozens of airstrikes and artillery shelling on Gaza City and other areas in the Strip, despite President Trump's call to halt the bombing," civil defense spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP news agency. Four people in a house in Gaza City died in one strike, while two others were killed in Khan Younis in the south, medical workers and local authorities said."
"Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Friday that he believed Hamas had shown it was "ready for a lasting PEACE" and that "Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza, so that we can get the Hostages out safely and quickly!" Hamas said on Friday it was ready under the Trump plan to release hostages it has held in Gaza since the October 7, 2023, terror attacks it led in southern Israel. However, the militant Islamist group called for negotiation on the details of the plan and a say in the future of the Palestinian territory."
Gaza officials report Israel carried out dozens of airstrikes and artillery shelling on Gaza City and other areas despite US President Donald Trump's call to halt bombardment after Hamas accepted some terms of a US peace plan. Civil defense spokesman Mahmud Bassal described the night as very violent. Medical workers and local authorities reported six deaths: four in a Gaza City house and two in Khan Younis. Trump said on Truth Social that Hamas had shown it was "ready for a lasting PEACE" and urged Israel to stop bombing to free hostages. Hamas said it was ready to release hostages under the plan but sought negotiations on details and a role in Gaza's future. The Israeli chief of staff ordered forces to prepare for the plan's first phase without mentioning any reduction in military activity.
