Israeli fire kills two young children in Gaza, medics say

Health officials said the strikes killed two children and at least two other Palestinians as Israel said it was targeting militants and related sites.

  • On Monday, Israeli airstrikes and gunfire killed two young children and two other Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, health officials reported.
  • Hamas accuses Israel of violating the ceasefire and undermining efforts to implement a broader plan by President Donald Trump to end the conflict. Israel says its strikes aimed to thwart imminent attacks by militants.
  • Medics and relatives reported 10-year-old Amal Abu Khater was killed in Khan Younis, while a four-year-old boy died in separate strikes in Bureij. The Israeli military said it was not aware of the incident involving the girl.
  • The Israeli military claimed the Deir Al-Balah strike targeted a Hamas militant but did not respond to questions about the other attacks. Officials denied bombing a desalination plant in Sheikh Radwan, asserting they struck only an adjacent site.
  • Since a ceasefire took effect last October, more than 1,280 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, according to health officials, while the Israeli military reported four Israeli soldiers have also been killed.
