The first strike hit an apartment in Gaza City around 2 a.m., killing sisters Zina (4) and Lana (14). Another strike targeted the rooftop of a building in Gaza City, killing a medic and his son. The Israeli military has not commented on these incidents as of June 16.
Since the ceasefire began, over 1,005 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli operations according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Families at Nasser Hospital reported that strikes targeted groups near the beach in the Muwasi tent camp where hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians live. Israel has stated it is continuing operations against Hamas and allied militants.
Palestinian and Israeli civil society groups meeting in Paris urged G7 leaders to act at their upcoming summit to save the narrowing chances of a two-state solution. The groups called for specific actions including enforcing a ceasefire, disarming Hamas, starting reconstruction in Gaza, and integrating various peace processes into one program.
The meeting drew up proposals from five working groups with as many as 250 activists attending. They expressed concerns that talks over Gaza might be cast aside at the G7 summit and urged leaders to recognize that 'the window for a solution remains open but is narrowing.' The groups emphasized the need for urgent diplomacy grounded in partnership with civil society.
Mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey wrapped up week-long talks with Hamas regarding implementation of U.S. President Donald Trump's Gaza plan which involves Hamas disarming and Israel withdrawing its forces. An October 2025 truce brokered by Trump has failed to halt Israeli attacks in Gaza or secure the disarmament of Hamas militants.
Israeli strikes have killed more than 990 people since the truce began according to health officials while Israel reports that four soldiers have been killed by militants during this period. Hamas blames the absence of a full agreement on Israel's refusal to fulfill first-phase obligations agreed in October which halted major fighting but did not end Israeli attacks.
