Israeli strikes in Gaza on Sunday killed at least eight people, including a child, according to hospitals and Gaza officials, BBC and Al Jazeera reported1,2.
In Gaza City, hospital officials told BBC a missile hit a group of civilians near Cairo School in Al-Rimal, killing three people including a child1. Al Jazeera, citing al-Shifa Hospital, said a four-year-old boy was among three killed in Rimal2.
In Khan Younis, the Hamas-run interior ministry said a drone attack in Al-Mawasi killed five police officers on duty1,2. BBC said the ministry named five officers aged 23 to 531.
The Israeli military said it carried out attacks on what it described as military operatives and told AFP it was targeting a terrorist in southern Gaza, BBC and Al Jazeera reported1,2. BBC said Israel had not provided further evidence in that account1.
Both outlets noted a U.S.-brokered ceasefire from October 2025 has not ended strikes. Gaza’s health ministry death tolls since then were cited by both; those figures are compiled by Hamas-run authorities and are treated as generally reliable by the United Nations, BBC said1.
