US President Donald Trump's advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner has arrived in Israel for talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the Gaza ceasefire enters its second month, with Israeli attacks still ongoing in the devastated territory.
Kushner, who helped broker the ceasefire, met Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Monday as part of US efforts to stabilise the truce and lay the groundwork for its next phase.
The two discussed some of the most sensitive aspects of phase two of the agreement, Israeli government spokeswoman Shosh Bedrosian told journalists.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, meanwhile, said Israel would enforce the ceasefire in Gaza as well as one in Lebanon with an "iron fist".
Trump announced a 20-point plan in September to end the two-year war in the Palestinian territory, starting with a ceasefire that came into effect on October 10 and the handover of the remaining captives held by Hamas in Gaza.
Since the truce began, at least 241 Palestinians have been killed and 619 wounded.
On Monday, the Wafa news agency reported that the Israeli army continued to demolish homes in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighbourhood- with Israeli military vehicles firing heavily in the east of Gaza City.
Heavy air strikes also targeted the northern and eastern parts of Khan Younis, while artillery shells were fired at the Zanna area in southern Gaza.
On Sunday, Israel said the remains it received on Sunday from Hamas were those of Lieutenant Hadar Goldin, an Israeli officer killed more than a decade ago in the 2014 Gaza war.
