Israeli Airstrikes Kill Five Palestinians in Gaza Amid Fragile Ceasefire Violations
Israeli military strikes on April 20 and 21, 2026, killed at least five Palestinians in separate incidents across the Gaza Strip. The IDF stated the strikes targeted Hamas operatives, including Iman Husna, allegedly involved in weapons manufacturing, and Anas Khaled Safi, who was reportedly planning an imminent attack. These operations occur as the U.S. pushes for a disarmament plan for Hamas within the framework of President Trump's ceasefire agreement, which has seen repeated low-level violations by both sides.
