Israeli strikes on Gaza have killed eight people, including a four-year-old boy. A strike in the southern city of Khan Younis killed five people according to Nasser Hospital, whilst another strike in Gaza City killed three people including the boy and seriously wounded a woman, according to Shifa Hospital.

The Israeli military said it had struck several militants in Khan Younis and one Hamas militant in northern Gaza. Israel says such strikes target militants and accuses Hamas of using civilians as human shields.

A ceasefire that took effect in October 2025 has largely halted major fighting, but near-daily Israeli strikes have continued. According to Gaza's Health Ministry, more than 1,570 Palestinians have been killed since the truce began, bringing the overall death toll from the war that started on 7 October 2023 to more than 74,500.
