The Globe and Mail reported that Israeli attacks killed at least six people in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, including a nine-year-old girl, and said an air strike at a metal foundry in Gaza City’s Sabra neighbourhood killed four people.

The Globe and Mail also said the Israeli military acknowledged striking the area, describing it as a violation of the ceasefire by the Islamist faction, while the TRT World report said the blaze of violence continued despite a ceasefire in effect since October 10, 2025.

TRT World put the cumulative toll since the ceasefire took effect on October 10, 2025 at at least 1,098 Palestinians killed and 3,535 wounded, according to Gaza’s health ministry.

The Globe and Mail said Hamas leaders visited Cairo for further talks over implementing the second phase of U.S. President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan, with discussions including Hamas disarmament and Israeli army withdrawals.

The Globe and Mail reported that Hamas says Israel’s violations of the ceasefire are a key obstacle to implementing the second phase of Trump’s plan, while it said mediators held more talks to safeguard the U.S.-brokered ceasefire.

TRT World said the Israeli army continued to demolish Palestinian homes and structures in areas under its control south of Khan Younis and east of Gaza City, and witnesses said loud explosions were heard from demolition operations in Khan Younis and Gaza City but no injuries were reported.

Al Jazeera said the continued attacks in Gaza are in violation of the ceasefire agreed last October by Israel and Hamas, even as it said fighting on the ground has mostly stopped since then.

Al Jazeera added that Israel has continued carrying out air strikes in Gaza, killing at least 1,098 Palestinians and wounding 3,535 during the so-called ceasefire, health ministry data shows.

The Muslim News linked the Gaza strikes to a separate regional crisis, saying Iran and the United States exchanged fresh military strikes amid escalating tensions over the Strait of Hormuz.

It quoted Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei saying the future management of shipping through the strategic waterway should be decided through consultations between Iran and Oman, and it said talks during Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi’s visit to Muscat on Saturday focused on securing navigation through the strait.

The Muslim News also said Iran’s Revolutionary Guards announced the strait would remain closed until further notice as the confrontation with Washington continued, and it reported that the United States said it had launched a third wave of strikes targeting Iranian radar, missile and drone sites across southern Iran.

Back in Gaza, TRT World said Israel has killed at least 1,098 Palestinians and wounded 3,535 others since the ceasefire took effect on October 10, 2025, and it said Israeli genocide has killed more than 73,000 Palestinians and wounded over 173,000 others since October 2023.

The Muslim News similarly stated that Gaza’s Health Ministry says more than 73,000 Palestinians have been killed and over 173,000 wounded since Israel launched its military campaign in October 2023, with around 90 per cent of Gaza’s civilian infrastructure damaged or destroyed.
