At least six people were killed and 40 wounded, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health, which did not name Muhammad Sinwar as one of the dead.

An Israeli airstrike on the Gaza Strip on Tuesday killed a well-known Palestinian journalist whom it accused of working with Hamas and was recovering in hospital from an earlier strike, the territory's health ministry said.

Some reports have cast this disconnect as indicative of a chasm between Trump and Israel. But this is a misreading. The divide is not between the president and Israel so much as between the president and Israel’s leader.

The Israeli military acknowledged Thursday that it does not have “sufficient evidence” to substantiate terrorism funding allegations it leveled against a prominent Palestinian journalist, even as an Israeli general ordered he be detained for another six months.

Health officials say Israeli airstrikes overnight and into Saturday have killed at least 23 Palestinians in Gaza.
