Good evening Middle East Eye readers, 

At least two Palestinians were killed in an Israeli drone strike east of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip on Friday, Al Jazeera Arabic reported, citing the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. 

Meanwhile, in a meeting in Cairo with other Palestinian factions, Hamas said it agreed to turn governance in Gaza over to a technocratic committee.
