The Israeli military has killed Islamic Jihad’s top commander in Lebanon, the Israel Defence Forces said on Monday.
The statement noted that the two factions discussed developments in the ongoing negotiations through international mediators.
Despite the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, several violent encounters have occurred involving armed or masked Palestinians.
American officials claim to possess multiple intelligence sources indicating that an armed Palestinian group caused the fatal explosion at a Gaza hospital.
The UN chief said the number of deaths and those injured was expected to rise as the attacks were ongoing and many remained unaccounted for.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman has condemned Israel for the death of a prominent Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader in an Israeli prison.
Meanwhile, the closure of major roads in southern Israel continued for the third day for fear of escalation with Gaza.
