• Israeli fire killed three Palestinians in Gaza, violating a ceasefire.
• Two were killed in the Tuffah neighborhood, and one in Khan Younis.
• U.S. officials met with Israeli PM Netanyahu to discuss Gaza conflicts.
• Over 71,000 casualties reported since the outbreak of hostilities in October 2023.
• Both sides accuse each other of ceasefire violations amid ongoing tensions.

Israeli fire resulted in the deaths of three Palestinians on Sunday in two separate incidents in the Gaza Strip, specifically in the Tuffah neighborhood and Khan Younis, marking significant violations of the ceasefire agreement established on October 10. Reports indicate that one of the deceased individuals was a 41-year-old man killed in Khan Younis, and at least two others lost their lives in the Tuffah area, which has seen repeated violence despite the tentative truce, according to Channel News Asia and Anadolu Agency.

Additionally, an Israeli drone strike in Gaza City injured four civilians, raising concerns about adherence to the ceasefire terms. Witnesses reported that Israeli forces targeted areas previously evacuated as part of the truce, further complicating the ongoing situation. The latest attacks are part of a broader pattern of violence that has claimed more than 71,000 lives since October 2023, mostly affecting civilians, according to Reuters and Anadolu Agency.

U.S. officials have recently engaged in talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, aiming to reinforce cooperation and renew discussions surrounding Gaza. The U.S. delegation expressed that conversations were "constructive and positive," focusing on collaborative approaches to address ongoing conflicts in the region. However, the backdrop of rising violence complicates the diplomatic landscape, as illustrated by the continued accusations exchanged between both Israel and Palestinians regarding ceasefire violations, according to Reuters and Anadolu Agency.
