CAIRO (Reuters) – Israeli military attacks killed at least four Palestinians in the Gaza ​Strip on Sunday, health officials in the enclave ‌said.

Medics said an airstrike carried out by Israel's forces killed one person near the central village of Al-Mughraqa, while Israeli gunfire ​and tank shelling killed two others near Gaza ​City.

In another incident, Israeli forces shot and killed a 40-year-old woman in Khan Younis, in the ​south of the territory, health officials said. The Israeli military ​said it was unaware of any attack by its troops in that area at the time of the reported incident on Sunday.

The Israeli ​military said it was looking into the other reported strikes. ​Separately, it said it had struck and killed several Hamas militants ‌in Gaza since Friday.

Violence in Gaza has persisted despite an October 2025 ceasefire, with Israel conducting almost daily attacks on Palestinians.

At least 800 Palestinians have been killed since the ​ceasefire deal took ​effect, according to local medics, while Israel says militants have killed four of its soldiers over ​the same period.

Israel and Hamas have blamed ​each other for ceasefire violations.

More than 72,500 Palestinians have been killed since the Gaza war started in October 2023, most of ​them civilians, according to Gaza health ​authorities.

Hamas' October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel killed 1,200 people, according ​to Israeli tallies.
