At least two children were among four people killed in Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip Thursday, health officials said, attacks that clouded renewed talks with Hamas on a U.S.-brokered peace plan.
A Hamas official and a diplomat close to Cairo talks with mediators said the discussions were "positive" and "making progress." The official added that the progress made would be tested by whether Israel would accept it to allow a broad agreement.
The diplomat said the negotiations were ongoing and making progress toward a roadmap that would see all heavy and light weapons in Gaza decommissioned.
Meanwhile, medics said an Israeli airstrike on a tent encampment in Khan Younis, in the south of the enclave, killed a man and an 8-year-old girl.
In the Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, an Israeli airstrike hit a house, killing an 18-month-old child and wounding at least eight people, medics said.
