Eight Palestinians, including a child, were killed Sunday in Israeli strikes on Khan Younis and Gaza City, despite the ceasefire agreement that has been in effect since October 2025, according to medical sources.

A medical source at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis said five Palestinians were killed in a strike on the al-Mawasi area west of the city, near schools for children. Gaza’s Ministry of Interior and National Security said the five were police officers and personnel targeted “while performing their regular duties.” The ministry said the number of police personnel killed since the ceasefire began had risen to 75 and called on the international community to take urgent action.
