Israeli airstrikes struck Gaza on Sunday, killing at least nine Palestinians, including four in a northern tent camp for displaced families and wounding several others.
The attacks targeted areas in northern Gaza near Jabalia and southern Khan Younis.
Palestinian medics and civil defense officials reported that one strike hit a tent encampment sheltering displaced civilians west of Jabalia, claiming four lives and burning additional tents.
Health officials confirmed five more deaths from a separate strike in Khan Younis, with rescuers facing challenges reaching the sites due to ongoing bombardment.
Israel’s military described the operations as precise responses to ceasefire violations by Hamas.
Officials stated that armed militants emerged from a tunnel beyond the agreed demarcation line, prompting the strikes to neutralize the threat.
The violence unfolded under a US-brokered ceasefire that took effect on October 10, 2025.
Both sides have repeatedly accused each other of breaches.
Gaza’s Health Ministry and Government Media Office report over 600 Palestinian deaths from Israeli actions since the truce began, alongside hundreds of injuries.
Israel, in turn, has pointed to militant attacks that killed soldiers and violated truce terms.
Palestinians gathered for funerals in Khan Younis on Sunday, mourning the latest victims as the enclave grapples with widespread displacement and limited aid access.
The strikes occurred just days before the first meeting of President Trump’s “Board of Peace,” which has pledged billions for Gaza reconstruction.
International mediators continue efforts to advance the ceasefire’s next phase, but persistent mutual accusations threaten fragile stability in the region.
