An Israeli air strike in Gaza has resulted in the deaths of at least 25 Palestinians and numerous injuries. The strike occurred shortly after US President Joe Biden's national security adviser expressed optimism about a potential ceasefire deal. Two hospitals in Gaza reported receiving a total of 25 bodies from the attack, with over 40 people, mostly children, receiving treatment. The strike also caused damage to nearby houses. Israel aims to eliminate Hamas, which it claims hides among Gaza's civilian population. US national security adviser Jake Sullivan believes that Israel's ceasefire in Lebanon has paved the way for a potential deal in Gaza.
