At least eight Palestinians were killed in separate strikes in Gaza City and Khan Younis on Sunday, according to medical and civil defense sources.
Israeli strikes in Gaza killed at least eight people, including a child, according to hospital and medical sources on Sunday. The attacks occurred in Gaza City and the southern city of Khan Younis, despite a ceasefire that has been in place for over a year.
In Gaza City, hospital officials reported that a missile attack hit a group of people near the Cairo School in the Al-Rimal neighbourhood, killing three people, including a four-year-old boy. One source identified the child as three-year-old Mohamed Awies.
In the southern city of Khan Younis, the Hamas-run ministry of interior said a drone attack targeted a group of police officers in the Al-Mawasi area, killing five people. The ministry stated the officers were between the ages of 23 and 53 and were carrying out their routine duties. The ministry called the attack a "horrific massacre."
The Israeli military stated it had carried out two attacks targeting what it described as military operatives, though it has not provided evidence or further information. In the southern strike, the military characterized its target as a "terrorist."
A ceasefire came into force in Gaza in October 2025, which included an agreement to release thousands of Palestinians held by Israel in exchange for 48 remaining hostages. However, a peace plan brokered by the Trump administration has stalled.
Since the war began following the Hamas-led attack on Israel on 7 October 2023—which killed approximately 1,200 people and saw 251 taken hostage—the Gaza health ministry reports that 74,594 people have been killed in Gaza. Since the October 2025 ceasefire, the ministry reports 1,580 people have been killed.
