# Israeli strikes kill four in Gaza, including two children 2026-08-08T09:44:50+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Israeli airstrikes killed four people in Gaza on Thursday, including an eight-year-old girl in a Khan Younis tent encampment and an 18-month-old child in a Bureij refugee camp house that also wounded eight people, medics said. Another man on a bicycle near a displacement camp in Gaza City died and ten were wounded. The Israeli military said the strikes targeted Hamas militants but provided no further details. The deaths add to a toll of over 1,200 Palestinians killed since the ceasefire took effect. The attacks came as a Hamas official and a diplomat reported progress in Cairo talks on implementing a US-brokered plan that would see Hamas confine heavy weapons under a Palestinian body, the eventual disarmament of all factions, and a phased transfer of authority to a US-backed civilian administration. Key sticking points remain: Hamas demands a full Israeli withdrawal, while Prime Minister Netanyahu insists on expanding Israeli control to 70% of the enclave. No timeline has been set for the new administration to enter Gaza. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: Cairo talks, Ceasefire, civilian casualties, Gaza, Hamas, Israel Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/israeli-strikes-kill-four-in-gaza-including-two-children/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
