On Friday, Gaza's civil defence agency reported that Israeli airstrikes killed at least 13 people, including five in an attack targeting a police vehicle in Khan Yunis, a city in southern Gaza. The strikes occurred despite an October 2023 ceasefire, which has not halted violence in the region. In total, eight individuals, including a child, were killed in the Khan Yunis strike, while additional casualties included a woman and her two children in Beit Lahia, and two police officers in Gaza City. The ongoing conflict has seen 792 Palestinians killed since the ceasefire began, according to Gaza's health ministry, which operates under Hamas authority. The Israeli military stated that the airstrikes were aimed at eliminating threats posed by Hamas militants. In response, Hamas condemned the attacks as barbaric and criticized the international community for failing to intervene. Media restrictions in Gaza have complicated independent verification of casualty figures.
