Gaza civil defence says Israeli strikes kill four, including two children

Gaza's civil defense agency and two hospitals reported that Israeli airstrikes on Thursday killed four people across the Palestinian territory, including two children. The attacks occurred despite an ongoing ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas, which has not halted the violence.

Civil Defence spokesman Mahmoud Basal told AFP that "four martyrs, including two children, and a number of wounded were transported following Israeli airstrikes" across the Gaza Strip. One Palestinian died and 10 were injured in an airstrike near a camp for displaced people next to Gaza City's Yarmouk Stadium, according to the civil defence agency.

Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis reported receiving two casualties, including an eight-year-old girl, and three wounded after an Israeli helicopter strike targeted a family's tent. Al-Aqsa hospital in central Gaza reported a child casualty and several wounded after an airstrike hit an apartment near the Bureij refugee camp.

The Israeli military did not confirm specific attacks but stated that "the IDF struck several Hamas terror infrastructure overnight." These airstrikes coincide with Hamas delegation talks in Cairo with mediators aimed at consolidating the ceasefire. Since the truce began last October, Israel has conducted near-daily strikes, and over 1,200 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, according to the territory's health ministry.
