An Israeli airstrike killed at least three Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Monday (April 13, 2026), health officials said, as mediators met leaders from Hamas in an effort to shore up a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal.
Medics said the strike had hit a group of men outside a school in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip. There was no immediate comment by the Israeli military.
