Israeli fire kills five people in Gaza, medics say

The military said the strikes targeted Hamas militants as health officials reported two people killed near a Gaza City park and three more in a vehicle.

  • On Monday, two separate Israeli airstrikes in Gaza City killed at least five Palestinians, according to health officials. The strikes hit a crowd near a public park and a vehicle in the Tel Al-Hawa neighborhood.
  • The Israeli military reported the attacks targeted Hamas militants, while Hamas accused Israel of violating the U.S.-backed ceasefire. President Donald Trump's broader plan to end the Gaza conflict remains stalled despite the October 2025 agreement.
  • Gazan health officials report more than 1,300 Palestinians have died in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect last October, while the Israeli military says four Israeli soldiers have died. The total death toll since October 7, 2023, exceeds 73,000.
  • Relatives paid their last respects at Shifa Hospital on Monday before carrying white-shrouded bodies to the cemetery. "There is not one good day in Gaza," said Amjad Abu Abdo, a relative of one victim, describing constant fear from drones.
  • Hamas-Led fighters killed 1,200 people during the October 7, 2023, attack, which catalyzed current hostilities. Ongoing violence continues to complicate diplomatic efforts to implement the ceasefire plan intended to secure Israeli withdrawals and Hamas disarmament.
