Israeli Strikes Kill 9 Including Journalists In Gaza

The truce’s first phase ended on March 1 without agreement on the next steps, but both Israel and Hamas have refrained from returning to all-out war.

A senior Hamas official said Tuesday fresh talks had begun in Doha, with Israel also sending negotiators.
