Gaza Clashes: Ten Palestinians Dead, Ceasefire Threatened

0:00It's April 6th, Global News Today starts now, AI-powered and worldwide. I'm Cory with the story. At least 10 Palestinians died in Israeli air strikes, and clashes between Hamas fighters and in Israel-backed militia and central Gaza. Local reports say the strikes hit Hamas security teams east of the Maghazi refugee camp after they tangled with the militia. Witnesses described the militia setting up a checkpoint that came under Hamas fire, sparking a fight. Israeli drones then jumped in, striking Hamas in three spots. Al-Aqsa Hospital in dear Albala got 10 bodies from the scene, plus dozens wounded, some critically. No word yet from Israel or Hamas on what went down. This fits a pattern of ceasefire breaks since the deal six months back. Gaza's health ministry counts 723 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks during that time. Israel reports five soldiers lost to Palestinian strikes. This armament stays a big roadblock in advancing President Trump's 20-point peace plan.

Their military spokesman, Abu Ubaida, said they won't budge until Israel meets phase one promises, vowing no surrender at the table. Tensions linked to water fights, with Hamas praising Iran, back to attacks as extensions of their October 7 stand. Netanyahu warns Hamas faces disarmament the hard way if needed, keeping Gaza's fragile truce on a nice edge.
