Powerful Explosion Hits Western Gaza as Israel Intensifies Attacks Across Multiple Areas
According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and Al Jazeera, Israel targeted multiple areas across the Gaza Strip with heavy strikes. At the same time, a loud explosion was heard in western Gaza City.
No further details about the explosion have been released so far.
The escalation in israeli attacks comes moments after a Hamas delegation led by khalil al-Hayya arrived in Cairo to negotiate over U.S.president Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza.
Trump recently introduced a 20-point plan aimed at ending the conflict in Gaza. The proposal calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of Israeli prisoners in exchange for hundreds of palestinian detainees, redeployment of Israeli troops to agreed-upon lines, and establishing an international body to oversee reconstruction and governance in Gaza.
Similar to its stance over the past two years-during which it repeatedly expressed readiness for a ceasefire and acceptance of just peace while engaging at negotiation tables-the Palestinian resistance has conditionally accepted this plan pending clarification on several points.
Analysts suggest that Trump’s recent initiative seeks less genuine peace than an attempt to help Israel overcome its strategic internal and external deadlocks. This is reflected in countries’ behavior toward israel at forums such as the United Nations General Assembly, sports arenas, universities, and legal institutions.
