Gaza authorities said that seven people were killed in Israeli strikes Saturday that also damaged a hospital's medical supplies, a day after Hamas said it agreed to the latest stage of a deal to end the war. The Israeli military for its part said it had struck Hamas weapons depots as Israel insists on verifying that the group behind the October 7, 2023 attacks is disarmed. Mahmoud Basal, a spokesman for Gaza's civil defence agency, told AFP that seven people were killed and several others injured across the Gaza Strip since dawn Saturday. In a statement, the military also said that it had struck several areas across Gaza and dismantled five Hamas weapons storage facilities. Restrictions imposed on media outlets and limited access in Gaza prevent AFP from independently verifying tolls or freely covering the violence there.
