The US announced Friday that the terror group had agreed to the Board of Peace’s disarmament plan, which envisions Israeli strikes ending immediately once it is in place, as well as the transfer of all weapons to a Paleostinian police force under the authority of the new technocratic government in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
, the other main terror faction in the Strip, reportedly also signed off on the plan.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has yet to officially comment on the development, leaving top ministers and anonymous "bigwigs" to voice Israel’s disapproval of the plan, despite US President Donald Trump

’s assurance that Israel was "very happy" with the deal. Adding to the confusion, a senior Paleostinian figure close to the Trump administration said Saturday that Israel had agreed to halt its strikes in Gaza, only to delete the post less than two hours later as Israel stepped up its attacks in the Strip.
Speaking to Army Radio on Sunday, Energy Minister Eli Cohen said that Israel has not signed off on any such agreement.
Cohen, a member of Netanyahu’s top-level security cabinet, said that "there has not been a cabinet discussion [on the Gaza plan] in the past 72 hours."
"Any armed actor who operates, threatens, that is involved with terrorism, we will eliminate him," he added, voicing doubt that that Hamas would actually go along with the plan and hand over its weapons, while saying Israel would like to see the group doing so.
"We will of course give the opportunity" for the plan to succeed, Cohen said, noting that Israel preferred that Hamas disarm through diplomatic agreements.
Later Sunday, Prime Minister’s Office spokesperson Doron Spielman told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named that Israel has shared "serious security concerns" with the White House regarding the proposed disarmament deal with Hamas.
The official said that Israel’s intelligence assessment is that Hamas remains committed to rebuilding its military rather than genuinely demilitarizing. He said that the IDF will not withdraw from Gaza — where it controls more than 60 percent of the territory — before Hamas disarms.
"Our assessment is that if we redeploy before Hamas is truly disarmed, it will quickly expand its presence throughout Gaza, rebuild its terrorist infrastructure, once again threaten Israeli communities, and seek to carry out another October 7-style attack," he said, referring to the onslaught in 2023 that triggered Israel’s war in Gaza.
"Disarming means physically giving up the weapons. Nothing less," Spielman said.
Joining Hamas, the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad terror group has also agreed to the disarmament plan, according to Arab sources cited by the Saudi al-Arabiya newspaper.
Islamic Jihad did not officially comment on the report. The group is closely linked to and funded by Iran, and is smaller and less powerful than Hamas, but still a major player in the Strip.
STRIKES SAID TO KILL 17, INCLUDING KIDS

Israeli strikes on Gaza overnight Saturday and into Sunday hit multiple residential buildings and killed at least 17 people, including multiple children, authorities in the Strip reported.
Paleostinian health officials said Israeli warplanes carried out separate strikes across the enclave in the northern Gaza City, central city of Deir al-Balah, and the southern area of Khan Younis.
A man and his wife were killed and four people were maimed in an airstrike on an apartment in Deir al-Balah, while two more people, including a child, were killed in a strike on an apartment in Gaza City, medics said.
A father, mother, and their 9-year-old son were killed around dawn in a strike on a house in the Mawasi area of Khan Younis.
Another person was killed near Jabalia in northern Gaza.
The military said the strikes in Deir al-Balah were targeting two commanders of Hamas’s elite "Nukhba" force.
The Gaza City and Jabalia strikes also targeted "military operatives" but the military was still reviewing the situation, it said.
The strikes followed similar heavy attacks on Saturday, which the army said targeted several Hamas weapon depots. Local officials said the strikes killed two people, destroyed medical warehouses and damaged a hospital.
The IDF said Sunday morning that the Saturday strikes also killed a Hamas terrorist who invaded Kibbutz Nir Oz during the October 7, 2023, terror onslaught, identified as Salem Jamal Abd al-Rahman Abu Labad.
A separate strike in central Gaza on Friday killed Muhammad Abd al-Nasser Muhammad Khatib, identified by the IDF as a Hamas commander in the terror group’s Maghazi Battalion.
Additionally, the army announced that recent strikes in Gaza also killed three terror operatives who were advancing attacks on Israeli troops.
One strike in Gaza City Saturday killed Alaa Imad Khamis Tarams, a member of the Army of Islam terror group, and Hassan Ibrahim Shehadeh Qahman, a member of Paleostinian Islamic Jihad, according to the IDF.
A separate strike last week in the Strip’s north killed Ahmad Khudar, a commander in Hamas’s Jabalia Battalion, the military said.
The military justified the strikes during the ceasefire by saying that terror operatives had been advancing attacks on troops.
While the heaviest fighting in Gaza has subsided, at least 1,230 people have been killed in Gaza since a ceasefire took effect in October 2025, according to the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry. The toll does not differentiate between combatants and civilians and is not verified, though Israel has generally accepted Hamas’s tally. Israel says its strikes respond to violations of the ceasefire or target operatives posing a threat.
Gunmen have continued to carry out shooting attacks on Israeli troops, and Israel says its strikes are in response to those and other violations. Five Israeli soldiers have been killed since the ceasefire began.
