Israeli Strikes Kill Three Palestinians, Including a Child, in Gaza, Medics Say
Israeli strikes killed at least three Palestinians, including a child, and wounded several others in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, health officials said.
Medics said a Palestinian was killed and two others were wounded by an Israeli airstrike near the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza City, while another was killed and several others were wounded by Israeli tank shelling near the central area of the enclave.
Later on Tuesday, an Israeli strike targeted a police station in northern Gaza, killing a 15-year-old child, medics said. The Hamas-run interior ministry said some policemen were also wounded in the attack.
Reuters has previously reported that Israel has intensified its attacks on Gaza’s Hamas-run police force, which the militant group has used to reinforce its hold in the areas it controls in the strip.
There was no immediate Israeli comment on any of the incidents.
Violence in Gaza has persisted despite an October 2025 ceasefire, with Israel conducting almost daily attacks on Palestinians. Israel and Hamas have blamed each other for ceasefire violations.
At Al Shifa Hospital, the largest medical facility still partially functional in the enclave, relatives and friends arrived to bid farewell to one of those killed on Tuesday, Mohammed Al-Ghandour. Two girls were crying and being comforted by a woman outside the hospital’s morgue.
“The Zionist enemy doesn’t know anything called truce and does not commit to international treaties or laws or humanitarian laws,” said the victim’s uncle, Abu Omar Al-Naffar.
At least 830 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire deal took effect, according to local medics, while Israel says militants have killed four of its soldiers over the same period.
Israel says its strikes are aimed at thwarting attempts by Hamas and other Palestinian militants to stage attacks against its forces.
More than 72,500 Palestinians have been killed since the Gaza war started in October 2023, most of them civilians, according to Gaza health authorities.
Since the truce last October, Israel still occupies more than half of Gaza, where it has ordered residents out and demolished almost all remaining structures. Nearly the entire population of more than 2 million Palestinians now lives in a narrow strip along the coast, mainly in tents and damaged buildings, under the de facto control of Hamas.
