Israeli strike kills two people including a 3-year-old boy, Gaza medics say
On Sunday, an Israeli airstrike near a bakery in Deir Al-Balah killed two Palestinians: Hussam Nusair and three-year-old Tayyem Hamdan, according to Gaza medics who said several others were wounded.
The Israeli military stated it targeted a Hamas militant, alleging that Nusair advanced attacks against Israeli forces and civilians; Hamas did not immediately comment on the allegation.
Gazan health officials report more than 1,300 Palestinians have been killed since the October 2025 ceasefire began, while the Israeli military says four Israeli soldiers have been killed.
Hamas accused Israel of violating the ceasefire and undermining President Donald Trump's broader plan to end the Gaza conflict, which includes Israeli withdrawals and Hamas disarmament.
The ceasefire failed to stop Israeli military actions aimed at thwarting attacks by Hamas and other militants in the Gaza Strip, as sporadic strikes continue claiming lives on both sides.
The air attack took place in the southern Gaza Strip and killed two 21- and 22-year-olds. The Israeli army claimed that the attack hit two operatives of the Hamas extremist group.
