- Israeli forces killed 8 people in Gaza, bringing the total toll to 18 since the announcement of the latest Trump peace plan, per Al Jazeera.
- An Israeli minister said there is no deal to halt the attacks, per NBC News, even as The New York Times reports Israel was bombing Gaza days after Trump announced a deal to advance a ceasefire.
Why it matters: The 18-person death toll since Trump's peace plan announcement, combined with an Israeli minister's denial of any deal to stop attacks, reveals a sharp gap between the announced ceasefire framework and ongoing military operations on the ground in Gaza.
