Israeli forces<\/a> carried out a \u201ctargeted strike\u201d on an individual in central Gaza<\/a> who was planning to attack Israeli troops, Israel\u2019s military said on Saturday. <\/p>\n

A US<\/a>-backed ceasefire is in force between Israel<\/a> and the Palestinian<\/a> militant group Hamas<\/a> more than two years after the war in the Gaza Strip<\/a> began, but each side has accused the other of violations.<\/p>\n

Israel said it had targeted a member of Islamic Jihad. The Palestinian militant group did not immediately comment on the assertion.<\/p>\n

Witnesses told Reuters they had seen a drone strike a car and set it ablaze. Local medics said four people had been wounded, but there were no immediate reports of deaths.<\/p>\n

Witnesses said separately that Israeli tanks had shelled eastern areas of Gaza City, the Gaza Strip\u2019s biggest urban area. The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

Several Israeli media sites said Israel, in a reversal of a policy of barring entry to foreign forces, had allowed Egyptian officials into the Gaza Strip to help locate the bodies of hostages taken captive in the Hamas-led attack on Israeli communities on October 7th, 2023, that triggered the war.<\/p>\n

As part of the ceasefire agreement, Hamas has said it will return all the hostages it abducted, but the remains of 13 are still in the enclave.<\/p>\n

The Israeli prime minister\u2019s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said US officials are getting input on a possible United Nations resolution or international agreement to authorise a multinational force in Gaza and will discuss the issue in Qatar on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of the countries that have expressed an interest in participating at some level \u2013 whether it be monetary or personnel or both \u2013 are going to need that (a UN resolution or international agreement) because their domestic laws require it,\u201d Mr Rubio told reporters travelling on his plane between Israel and Qatar en route to Asia.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we have a whole team working on that outline of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The administration of US president Donald Trump wants Arab states to contribute funds and troops for a multinational force to keep the peace in Gaza. Israel has rejected the idea of Turkish troops participating. \u2013 Reuters<\/p>\n
