Israeli airstrike kills family of four, including two children, in northern Gaza; cost of living issues persist in Israel
Confirmed
In Short: An Israeli airstrike in northern Gaza killed a family of four, including two children, according to health officials. Meanwhile, a supermarket chain in Israel raised prices for key products during a supposed cost-free promotion, sparking controversy.
An Israeli airstrike in northern Gaza killed a family of four, including two children, according to health officials. A hospital official at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City identified the two child victims as girls aged 12 and 8. The Israeli military claimed the strike was carried out only after a warning was issued and additional measures were taken to reduce the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions and aerial surveillance.
In Israel, a supermarket chain, Woolworths, raised prices for popular items, including a 33% markup on chicken fillets, during a three-month 'Price Freeze' promotion aimed at helping customers with the cost of living. Pricing data, compiled by comparison website CW Scanner, showed that the supermarket chain increased the prices of at least four key products after starting the promotion on May 1.
The IDF announced that a Hamas terrorist who invaded Israel during the October 7, 2023, onslaught and was involved in the killing of Nahal Brigade commander Col. Jonathan Steinberg near the border community of Kerem Shalom was killed in a strike in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis on Monday. The IDF said it will continue to operate decisively to degrade Hamas's capabilities while thwarting any attempt to rebuild them.
Since the October 2025 ceasefire, the war between Israel and Hamas has killed over 73,400 people in Gaza, including more than 1,330 since the ceasefire, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. The IDF has struck at least six homes across the enclave in the past two days, causing damage to nearby houses and tent shelters and forcing many families to flee.

- The IDF did not comment directly on the strikes on houses, but said in a joint statement with the Shin Bet that on Wednesday, three Hamas weapons depots were destroyed in Israeli strikes.
- The plan calls for Hamas to disarm in exchange for a gradual Israeli withdrawal from the Strip, but progress has remained stalled, and the terror group is unlikely to disarm before the Israeli national election in October.
- The Israel Defense Forces told The Times of Israel that the strike had killed Muaman Abd al-Rahman Ahmad, “a military operative who took a direct part in fighting against IDF troops.” According to the IDF, the building near the “Yellow Line” in the Beit Lahia area had been used in the past by terror operatives.
