At the political level, US President Donald Trump called on the Hamas movement on Sunday to give up its weapons “completely and immediately” within the framework of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, noting that the “peace council” he established pledged to provide five billion dollars for the reconstruction of the Strip.

At least 11 people were killed in Gaza since dawn on Sunday in Israeli strikes, according to what the Civil Defense announced. While an Israeli military official said that it came in response to ceasefire violations.
A truce has been in effect in the Gaza Strip since October 10, two years after the start of the war, witnessing violations over which both sides exchange accusations.
The Civil Defense in Gaza reported that five people were killed in an "Israeli raid that targeted a tent housing displaced people near the communications junction in the Al-Faluja area, west of Jabalia, in the northern Gaza Strip."

He added that five others were killed and a number of people were injured "following an Israeli raid that targeted the vicinity of the Turkish slaughterhouse west of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip," while one person was killed in the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood, southwest of Gaza City.
For its part, Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City and Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis reported receiving the bodies of at least seven people killed in the Israeli attacks.
Hamas gives up its weapons “immediately”
US President Donald Trump called on the Hamas movement on Sunday to give up its weapons “completely and immediately” within the framework of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, noting that the “peace council” he established pledged to provide five billion dollars for the reconstruction of the Strip.
“Very important, Hamas must honor its commitment to completely and immediately disarm,” Trump wrote in a post on his platform, Truth Social, days before the first meeting of the Peace Council scheduled in Washington on February 19.
Response to Hamas violations
An Israeli military official said that the forces were carrying out the strikes in response to Hamas' violation of the ceasefire agreement.
He continued, "The violation included monitoring a number of militants who took shelter under the rubble east of the Yellow Line and next to Israeli army forces. It is likely that they emerged from underground infrastructure in the area."

According to the military official, armed men crossing the yellow line near Israeli army forces is “a clear violation of the ceasefire, and shows how Hamas is systematically violating the agreement with the intention of harming the forces.”
Under the terms of the ceasefire that entered into force on October 10, Israeli forces withdrew to positions beyond what is known as the “yellow line,” but they still control more than half of the territory of the Strip.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza confirmed that at least 601 people have been killed in the Strip since the start of the truce.
On the other hand, the Israeli army says that at least four of its soldiers were killed during the same period.
Media restrictions and limited access to Gaza prevented Agence France-Presse from independently verifying casualty numbers or covering the fighting freely.
