Israeli strikes kill at least 13 in Gaza as U.S. plans new ‘Board of Peace’ initiative

Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip killed at least 13 people, Gaza health officials said, underscoring how fragile the current ceasefire remains. Israel said it struck Hamas fighters and infrastructure after a militant projectile launch failed.

At the same time, U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to announce a new “Board of Peace” intended to oversee the ceasefire and a broader plan for post-war governance and security arrangements. Israel’s prime minister said Bulgarian diplomat Nickolay Mladenov has been selected as the board’s director-general.
