Reports: Israeli strikes kill eight, including child, in Gaza Strip

An Israeli strike on a university in Gaza City killed three people on Sunday, according to staff and a local hospital. Al Shifa Hospital reported receiving three bodies and treating eight wounded people following the drone strike, while sources at the Islamic University stated the deceased were administrative staff and the injured were students. Gaza’s education ministry noted that the students were present for classes and reported that 95 per cent of academic buildings have been damaged during the war.

The Gaza civil defence agency reported that four other people were killed elsewhere in the territory on Sunday. Mahmoud Bassal, a spokesman for the agency, stated that two people died in an airstrike in Khan Yunis, one died in central Deir al Balah, and one died in the north of the Strip. Middle East Eye reported that at least two Palestinians were killed and four injured in Israeli air strikes on Khan Younis, with Al-Jazeera noting the attack struck a gathering in the al-Sinaa area.

Haaretz reports that these incidents occur despite a cease-fire, noting that since the truce was announced last October, Israeli fire has killed 1,554 Palestinians and wounded 5,573 in Gaza. The Israeli military stated it is looking into the reports.
