Israel kills 100 since Trump urged it to 'stop bombing'

Israel has killed more than 100 Palestinians since Hamas agreed on Friday to release all captives as part of the latest US ceasefire plan, with truce negotiations set to begin Monday in Egypt.

Heavy bombing rocked the Gaza Strip over the weekend, with strikes reported on residential neighborhoods, refugee camps, and aid distribution points.

Residents of Gaza City also reported the use of explosive barrels dropped by remotely controlled vehicles, targeting homes in the al-Jalaa neighbourhood and other areas.

The Gaza-based Government Media Office said at least 94 people were killed on Saturday and Sunday. At least seven more were killed on Monday morning, according to local media.

Israeli forces carried out 131 air and artillery strikes on densely populated areas across the Strip over the weekend, the media office added.
