Israeli strikes kill at least eight in Gaza, medics say
Hospitals report three dead, including a child, in Gaza City, and the Hamas-run interior ministry reports five police officers killed in Khan Younis.
Israeli strikes in Gaza killed at least eight people, including a child, hospital officials and the Hamas-run interior ministry said, almost a year after a ceasefire took effect in the territory.
In Gaza City, hospital officials said a missile hit a group of civilians beside Cairo School in the Al-Rimal neighbourhood, killing three people. One of the dead was a child.
In Khan Younis, in the south, the interior ministry said a drone struck a group of police officers in the Al-Mawasi area as they carried out their duties, killing five. The ministry named the officers, who were between 23 and 53 years old, and called the attack a "horrific massacre" by Israeli forces.
The Israeli military said it had carried out two attacks on what it described as military operatives. It has not provided evidence for that description or given further details.
Haaretz reported nine people killed, one more than the figure given by the hospitals and the interior ministry. Reuters and Al Jazeera both reported at least eight dead, citing medics.
The ceasefire came into force last October, ending a war triggered by the Hamas-led attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 taken hostage. Under the deal, all 48 remaining hostages in Gaza were released in exchange for thousands of Palestinians held by Israel.
Israeli air strikes have continued almost every day since the truce. Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry says 1,580 people have been killed since the ceasefire began, and 74,594 since the war started. The United Nations considers the ministry's figures reliable.
Israel says it targets Hamas fighters, and that civilians are sometimes killed in its strikes.
