An Israeli airstrike killed four Palestinians in Gaza on Tuesday, the territory's civil emergency service said, as Arab mediators and the United States tried to hammer out differences between Hamas and Israel over a Jan.

Hamas-led militants carried out a cross-border raid into southern Israel on October 7, 2023, triggering an Israeli offensive into the Gaza Strip that has killed more than 48,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza health officials. Hamas militants killed 1,200 people and took 251 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.

Israeli fire has killed four people and wounded 14 in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, Palestinian officials said, even as a fragile ceasefire with Hamas has largely held. Israeli strikes have killed dozens of Palestinians who the army says had approached its troops or entered unauthorized areas in violation of the January truce.

U.S. and Israeli officials are trying to brush off several days of behind-the-scenes tensions over the Trump administration's unprecedented talks with Hamas ahead of crucial Gaza negotiations this week.

An Israeli delegation is all set to reach Doha for crucial talks on extending the fragile ceasefire deal in Gaza. US Special Envoy for West Asia, Steve Witkoff is also expected to reach Qatar's capital after a brief stopover in Saudi Arabia ahead of the talks.
