# Gaza’s civil defence agency says 20 people, including at least six children, were killed in two Israeli air strikes overnight in the Palestinian territory. The Israeli military said it was looking into the report. The bombings came as Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu met US president Donald Trump in Washington and discussed the ongoing campaign to defeat Hamas in Gaza. Afterwards, he restated Israel’s aims to secure the release of all hostages taken during the Palestinian militants’ attack on 7 October 2023, and “the elimination” of its “military and governing capabilities”.
