In Gaza City, two Palestinians were killed and another was wounded in an Israeli strike on a motorbike, according to officials at Shifa hospital. The Israeli military said it struck a “military operative,” without elaborating. Elsewhere, tank fire killed a farmer in the eastern part of Deir al-Balah, according to officials at Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital, where the body was taken. The Israeli military did not immediately comment. And the latest airstrike on the compound of Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital wounded three Palestinians, officials with Gaza's health ministry said. Israel’s military said it “struck a Hamas commander who planned to execute terror attacks" adjacent to the compound. The military statement accused the commander of hiding in the compound. It said medical authorities in Gaza were warned on Thursday that medical facilities should not be used for “terrorist purposes” and that Israeli forces would act on any threat if it continues. Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital did not comment on the strike. A fragile ceasefire in Gaza has continued since October. While the heaviest fighting in Gaza has subsided, Israel's military has killed at least 1,313 Palestinians since then, according to Gaza’s health ministry. The ministry, part of the Hamas-led government, maintains detailed casualty records that are seen as generally reliable by U.N. agencies and independent experts. It does not give a breakdown of civilians and militants. Iran's new leadership signals no tolerance for dissent After six months of war, Iran's new leadership appears ready for a potentially long confrontation with the United States and determined to prevent any unrest at home. The new supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, still has not been seen publicly since his father and other senior leaders were killed in the war's opening strikes on Feb. 28, when the U.S. and Israel attacked. With appointments announced Aug. 11 and 12, Khamenei has surrounded himself with longtime personal allies like the new secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, and the new head of the Basij, the Revolutionary Guard’s volunteer street force, Hossein Taeb.

Gaza ceasefire frays as Israeli strikes kill three Palestinians Israeli strikes and tank fire killed three Palestinians in Gaza despite the ceasefire. The incidents underscored the truce's fragility as Iran's new leadership tightened control at home.

Three Palestinians were killed in separate Israeli strikes and fire in Gaza on Saturday, according to local health officials, in the latest violence despite a fragile ceasefire that has held since October. At the same time, Iran's new leadership appears to be preparing for a potentially long confrontation with the United States while showing no tolerance for dissent at home after six months of war.

In Gaza City, two Palestinians were killed and another was wounded in an Israeli strike on a motorbike, officials at Shifa hospital said. The Israeli military said it struck a "military operative" but did not give further details. In eastern Deir al-Balah, tank fire killed a farmer, according to officials at Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital, where the body was taken.

The Israeli military did not immediately comment. In another incident, an airstrike on the compound of Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital wounded three Palestinians, officials in Gaza's health ministry said. Israel's military said it had "struck a Hamas commander who planned to execute terror attacks" adjacent to the compound.

It accused the commander of hiding in the hospital compound and said medical authorities in Gaza had been warned on Thursday that medical facilities should not be used for "terrorist purposes" and that Israeli forces would act on any threat if that continued.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital did not comment on the strike. While the heaviest fighting in Gaza has subsided, Israel's military has killed at least 1,313 Palestinians since October, according to Gaza's health ministry. The ministry, which is part of the Hamas-led government, keeps detailed casualty records that UN agencies and independent experts generally consider reliable, though it does not provide a breakdown of civilians and militants.

In Iran, the new supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, has not been seen in public since his father and other senior leaders were killed in the opening strikes of the war on February 28, when the United States and Israel attacked. Appointments announced on August 11 and 12 showed that he had surrounded himself with longstanding personal allies, including Mohsen Rezaei as the new secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council and Hossein Taeb as the new head of the Basij, the Revolutionary Guard's volunteer street force.

The latest developments therefore pointed to continuing violence in Gaza even under a fragile ceasefire, while Iran's new leadership moved to consolidate power at home during the wider regional conflict.
