Israeli Strikes Kill Eight Palestinians Including Child
· ConfirmedShare on
In Short: Israeli strikes in Gaza have killed at least eight Palestinians, including a child, according to hospitals, despite a year-old ceasefire.
The ceasefire, which began in October 2025, saw thousands of Palestinians held by Israel released in return for all of the 48 remaining hostages held in Gaza, and an agreement to end the war.
Hospital officials in Gaza City reported that a missile attack hit a group of civilians near Cairo School in the Al-Rimal neighborhood, killing three people, including a four-year-old boy.
Ali Oweis told AFP news agency, 'My son and his child were martyred. They were sitting in their tent, bothering no one, and nothing else was happening in the area when suddenly, a missile struck them, and they were martyred.'
Outside Gaza City's Shifa Hospital, video showed a crowd of men gathered to pray next to two body bags and the tiny body of the child, which was wrapped in a white towel.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health condemned the “horrific massacre” and called on the international community to take urgent action and exert pressure on Israel to stop its killing of policemen.
In another strike on the Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City, at least three people, including a four-year-old child, were killed.
The war between Israel and Hamas has killed over 73,400 people in Gaza over the past three years, including more than 1,330 since the October 2025 ceasefire, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
Al Jazeera also said the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights warned that Israeli forces in Gaza were continuing to displace Palestinians and that its actions continued to raise concerns of ethnic cleansing.
