Two killed in Gaza City strike, IDF says it targeted car with Hamas terrorists
The strike in the Tel Al-Hawa neighborhood in western Gaza City struck a vehicle, according to footage circulated on social media.
An Israeli airstrike on Sunday in the Tel Al-Hawa neighborhood of Gaza City killed at least two Palestinians and wounded 13 others, according to medical staff. The strike left a vehicle mangled and footage on social media showed its destruction. Local medical personnel urged people to provide information to identify the victims, whose bodies were severely injured by the explosion.
The Israeli military claimed the strike targeted two Hamas members, but did not provide additional details. A US-backed ceasefire, which went into effect in October 2025, has not ended Israeli strikes in Gaza, with ongoing Israeli military actions. The ceasefire has also not led to significant progress towards permanent peace. Hamas has accused Israel of violating the ceasefire and stalling efforts to implement US President Donald Trump's plan for ending the Gaza conflict, which envisions an Israeli withdrawal from the strip and Hamas disarmament.
Israel, however, asserts that Hamas is violating the agreement. Israel has also recently claimed to have struck southern Lebanon after Hezbollah launched drones. Since the ceasefire began, over 1,300 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have been killed in Gaza, as reported by the territory's health officials. Meanwhile, the Israeli military has stated that four of its soldiers have been killed in the conflict. Hamas typically does not disclose information regarding fatalities among its fighters.
