An Israeli airstrike in Rafah killed two Palestinians, following a drone strike that killed two others in Gaza. The airstrikes occurred as Hamas and Egyptian mediators worked on extending a ceasefire. The recent attacks come as Israeli authorities demand the release of remaining hostages held by Hamas, with negotiations for an end to the war set to take place in the second phase of the ceasefire deal. Hamas has signaled readiness for negotiations but is calling for efforts to aid Gaza and lift the blockade. The ceasefire began in January and has led to the release of some hostages but Israel believes many are still captive. The conflict has resulted in thousands of Palestinian deaths, internal displacement, and accusations of war crimes. The assault began after Hamas fighters raided Israel in 2023.
