Israeli strikes kill 15 in Gaza as minister rules out ceasefire deal

In early August 2026, Israeli airstrikes killed at least 15 people in Gaza, according to Palestinian health officials. An Israeli minister said there is no deal to halt the attacks, even after Hamas agreed to a disarmament deal. The strikes come as the U.S., under President Trump, pushes a roadmap for disarming Hamas, but Israel says it has serious concerns about the agreement.
