Israeli forces recently carried out a "targeted strike" in central Gaza, targeting an individual alleged to be planning an attack on Israeli troops, according to SCMP and Reuters. Witnesses reported seeing a drone strike a vehicle, resulting in a fire, while local medical sources indicated that four individuals sustained injuries but confirmed no fatalities as of the latest reports.

This action comes against the backdrop of a U.S.-backed ceasefire that began more than two years after the ongoing conflict in Gaza commenced. Each side has levied accusations of violations, with Israel asserting it had targeted a member of Islamic Jihad, while the militant group deemed these allegations as unfounded, according to Channel News Asia.

Furthermore, several Israeli news outlets have indicated that Israel permitted Egyptian officials to enter Gaza to help locate the remains of hostages taken during the Hamas-led assault on Israeli communities on October 7, 2023. As outlined by Hamas, the remains of 13 abducted individuals are still within Gaza, according to SCMP, Reuters, and Channel News Asia.
