Israeli Airstrikes Kill Three in Gaza as Disarmament Talks Stall
Israeli airstrikes and tank shelling killed at least three Palestinians, including a 15-year-old child at a northern Gaza police station, on May 5. The strikes focused on Hamas-run security infrastructure and Qassam Brigade members in Sheikh Radwan. The violence comes as disarmament negotiations between Hamas and the US-led Board of Peace (BoP) reached an impasse in Cairo, with Israel warning of a return to full-scale combat if disarmament goals are not met.
