Israeli strikes on Gaza kill at least three people, medics say

An Israeli airstrike on a camp in Gaza city killed three people on Sunday (January 12), Palestinian medics said. Israel's offensive in the Gaza Strip has killed at least 46,565 Palestinians and injured 109,660 since Oct. 7, 2023, the Palestinian enclave's health ministry said on Sunday. The ministry said 28 Palestinians were killed in the past 24 hours. An Israeli official on Saturday (January 11) said some progress had been made in the indirect talks between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas, mediated by Egypt, Qatar and the United States, to reach a deal in Gaza. The mediators are making renewed efforts to reach a deal to halt the fighting in the enclave and free the remaining Israeli hostages held there before Trump takes office on Jan. 20. A deal would also involve the release of some Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails. Four Israeli troops were killed during combat in northern Gaza, the Israeli army said on Saturday.
