Israeli Strikes Kill Seven in Gaza as US Responds to Iran Proposal
Israeli military operations in Gaza have killed seven people in recent strikes, including six in a drone attack on a passenger van and one in a residential apartment bombing. Meanwhile, Iranian officials indicate they received an official United States response to Tehran's seven-month war-ending proposal, following Washington's initial rejection of a plan that demanded early sanctions relief and access to frozen assets.

Senior Hamas Commander Killed in Gaza Strike
An Israeli airstrike killed Izz al-Din Al-Beik, the head of Hamas armed wing in the northern Gaza Strip, on Tuesday according to Israeli and Palestinian officials.
