Israeli airstrikes in northern Gaza have resulted in the deaths of at least 15 people in Beit Lahiya, according to Palestinian medics. Efforts to rescue survivors were hampered as hospitals struggled to treat numerous wounded. Meanwhile, discussions for a ceasefire and post-war governance in Gaza are ongoing, with Egypt mediating between Hamas and Fatah. Israel maintains that operations are necessary to prevent militant regrouping, while Hamas demands an end to the war and Israeli troop withdrawal. Progress has been noted in talks, but no final agreement has been established.
