Four Palestinians Killed in Sunday Israeli Airstrikes in Gaza

Palestinian health officials report four deaths from separate Israeli airstrikes in Gaza on Sunday. Three Hamas police officers died in an attack on their vehicle in central Gaza, while a Fatah leader was killed in northern Gaza.

Palestinian health authorities confirmed that four people died in separate Israeli military strikes across Gaza on Sunday, marking continued violence in the region.

Three members of the Hamas-controlled police force lost their lives when an Israeli airstrike targeted their vehicle in central Gaza’s Nuseirat camp, according to medical personnel and police sources. The same attack left ten additional people injured, medics reported.

A second strike earlier that day claimed the life of one person in northern Gaza’s Sheikh Radwan neighborhood. The victim was described by sources as a commander within one of Fatah’s militant wings, with an undetermined number of others sustaining injuries in that incident.

Israeli military officials stated they were reviewing both strikes.

According to local residents, medical staff, and regional analysts, Israeli military operations in Gaza had decreased following joint U.S.-Israeli strikes against Iran on February 28, but have recently intensified once more. Gaza health authorities report that Israeli military actions have resulted in dozens of Palestinian casualties since the Iran conflict began.

Violence has continued to flare periodically in Gaza despite a ceasefire that took effect in October, ending two years of intense warfare that began with Hamas-led attacks on Israel in October 2023.

Gaza’s health ministry reports that Israeli forces have killed at least 680 Palestinians since the October truce began. During the same timeframe, Israel reports that militants killed four of its soldiers in Gaza.

Both Israel and Hamas have accused each other of violating the ceasefire agreement.
