Israeli strikes in Gaza kill 8, including a child

On Sunday, Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip claimed the lives of eight individuals, including a child, according to emergency services and local hospitals. Five fatalities were reported in Khan Yunis, while three occurred in Gaza City, as stated in a civil defence service statement representing the Islamist movement Hamas governing Gaza.

The territory's hospitals received the deceased bodies and several wounded individuals. Israeli aircraft targeted on-duty police officers in Khan Yunis, as reported by the Gaza interior ministry. The Israeli military confirmed targeting a "terrorist" in southern Gaza and several others in the north, while assessing the outcomes of the strikes.

Since the Oct 7, 2023 attack by Hamas, Israel's offensive in Gaza has devastated much of the territory and resulted in over 74,500 deaths, as per Gaza's health ministry figures, acknowledged as reliable by the UN. A ceasefire was implemented in October 2025, but over 1,500 people have been killed in Gaza since then.
