Israeli attacks across Gaza on Saturday, August 1st, 2026, resulted in the deaths of at least two Palestinians and injuries to at least ten others. These strikes came just hours after Hamas agreed to a draft peace deal formulated by the Board of Peace led by US President Donald Trump. The agreement outlines a phased disarmament of Hamas, coupled with a corresponding withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.

The violence underscores the fragile nature of the peace process in the region, with hostilities continuing despite the tentative agreement.
