Israeli airstrikes killed at least four Palestinians, including two children, across the Gaza Strip on Thursday, health officials said, as mediators reported progress in talks with Hamas on implementing a US-brokered peace plan.
A Hamas official and a diplomat familiar with the negotiations in Cairo described the discussions as "positive" and said they were making progress.
The Hamas official said the momentum would ultimately depend on whether Israel accepted the proposals to pave the way for a broader agreement.
The diplomat said negotiators were working towards a roadmap that would see all heavy and light weapons in Gaza decommissioned.
According to medics, an Israeli airstrike on a tent camp in Khan Younis in southern Gaza killed a man and an eight-year-old girl.
In central Gaza's Bureij refugee camp, another strike hit a house, killing an 18-month-old child and wounding at least eight others.
A separate strike targeted a Palestinian man riding a bicycle near a camp for displaced families in Gaza City, killing him and injuring 10 others.
The Israeli military said the attacks targeted Hamas militants but did not provide further details.
The latest fatalities bring the number of Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes since the ceasefire took effect to more than 1,200, most of them civilians, according to Gaza health authorities. Hamas does not usually disclose its military casualties.
Although the truce halted full-scale fighting, Israeli strikes have continued almost daily. Four Israeli soldiers have also been killed by militants in Gaza since the ceasefire began.
Hamas leaders met mediators from Egypt, Qatar and Turkey in Cairo on Thursday to discuss implementation of the second phase of US President Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan.
The proposal calls for a major increase in humanitarian aid, governance by a civilian Palestinian administration, the disarmament of Hamas, the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and the deployment of an international security force.
Negotiations have stalled repeatedly over recent months.
A Hamas official said the group had presented a "positive and good" response to the latest proposals but stopped short of confirming whether it had agreed to fully disarm, one of the key sticking points in the negotiations.
Hamas has insisted that Israel must commit to ending military operations in Gaza and withdrawing its forces from the territory.
Sources close to the group said Hamas was willing to place its heavy weapons under the control of a Palestinian body for storage but not surrender them to Israel. The group did not comment on the report.
It remains unclear how light weapons would be dealt with or whether Israel would accept Hamas's latest position.
The diplomat said the roadmap under discussion would transfer governing authority in phases to the US-backed National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), while ensuring all weapons in the territory are decommissioned under the principle of "one authority, one law, one weapon."
