Israeli fire kills 2 people in Gaza
Several others were also wounded when an Israeli airstrike hit a crowd of people near the municipal public park in Gaza City.
A strike by Israeli forces in Gaza City resulted in the deaths of at least two Palestinians on Monday, according to health officials. The Israeli military has not yet provided a statement on the incident. The attack occurred when an airstrike struck a group of people near the municipal public park in Gaza City, an area where many displaced families reside.
The densely populated region suffered several casualties, with others sustaining injuries. Despite an October 2025 US-backed ceasefire intended to halt major combat, Israeli military operations continue, citing their aim to prevent attacks from Hamas and other Gaza militants. Hamas, however, claims that Israel is breaching the ceasefire and obstructing the implementation of a broader plan proposed by US President Donald Trump.
This plan encompasses Israeli withdrawals and Hamas disarmament. Since the ceasefire commenced last October, over 1,300 Palestinians have been reported killed in Gaza, as per Gazan health officials. Meanwhile, the Israeli military asserts that four of their soldiers have lost their lives.
