Gaza – Despite a ceasefire agreement with Hamas, Israel is reportedly continuing violations, with fresh strikes in the Gaza Strip killing at least 11 Palestinians.

According to Gaza’s Civil Defense Authority and Reuters, two children aged 3 and 14 were among those killed in airstrikes in northern Gaza.

Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal stated that a strike targeting a police vehicle in Gaza City killed four people, including a three-year-old child. He added that several others were also killed or injured in the attack.

Gaza’s Interior Ministry confirmed that Israeli warplanes struck a police vehicle in the city center, resulting in multiple casualties, including the reported death of a police officer.

In a separate incident, one civilian was killed by Israeli fire in the northern town of Beit Lahiya. Later in the evening, a drone strike near the Shati refugee camp in Gaza City hit a group of people in a public square.

The Al-Shifa Hospital reported that five bodies were transferred following the drone attack near the Shati camp.

It is worth noting that despite the ceasefire in Gaza since October 2025, Israeli strikes have continued, with approximately 760 Palestinians reported killed during this period.
