Israeli attacks kill multiple civilians in Gaza, including a family of four and a child
Israeli forces fired from military vehicles and a drone on the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, killing at least four Palestinians and wounding several others. In the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya, a residence was hit, killing a husband, his wife and their two daughters. An Israeli strike on a vehicle in western Gaza City killed a father and his school‑age daughter, while injuring six others. The incidents occur after a United States‑backed ceasefire was announced in October 2025, but both Israeli and Hamas officials accuse the other side of violating the truce.
