Israeli strikes in Gaza kill eight, including a child

Israeli strikes in Gaza have killed at least eight people, according to hospital officials, despite a ceasefire agreement from October of last year. A missile attack in Gaza City killed three civilians, including a four-year-old boy. In the southern city of Khan Younis, a separate drone strike killed five police officers.

The Israeli military stated it had targeted “military operatives” but did not immediately provide evidence. The Hamas-run interior ministry in Gaza called the attack on its officers, aged between 23 and 53, a “horrific massacre”. The strikes are the latest to occur during a ceasefire period under which Israeli air raids have continued on an almost daily basis.

According to Gaza's health ministry, whose figures the UN considers reliable, the death toll in the territory has reached 74,594 since the war began. The conflict was triggered by the Hamas-led attack on Israel on October 7th 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 taken hostage.
