Israeli air strikes and gunfire killed at least nine Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, including a 10-year-old and a 6-year-old, medical sources said. The violence marks a continued erosion of the ceasefire reached in October 2025.
An air strike on a tent for displaced people in al-Mawasi, Khan Younis, killed four, including the 10-year-old, while a separate strike near a school in Gaza City killed one person and wounded 12. A 6-year-old boy was killed by Israeli gunfire in the Zeitoun neighbourhood. Mohammed al-Wahidi, a member of an Egyptian relief committee, was killed in a strike on a vehicle that also fatally wounded two children, according to Al-Shifa hospital sources. The Israeli military said it targeted Hamas militants in the attacks.
Since the October 2025 truce, at least 1,084 Palestinians have been killed in what are described as Israeli violations. The overall death toll since the conflict began in October 2023 has reached at least 73,110.
