Hospitals in the Gaza Strip reported that Israeli strikes killed eight people, including a child, officials said on Monday. The casualties were reported in two separate areas of the territory.
Five of those killed were identified by officials as officers from the Hamas-run police force in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. Local health services conveyed the toll but provided few further details about the circumstances of the strike.
In Gaza City, in the north, hospitals and Palestinian officials said three people were killed, one of them a child. Authorities did not immediately release the names or ages of the victims or additional information about the locations hit.
The incidents add to the regular flow of casualties reported from Gaza amid recurrent hostilities between Israeli forces and Palestinian groups. Local hospitals and officials regularly publish casualty figures following strikes, but independent verification can be difficult during active fighting.
International and humanitarian groups have repeatedly expressed concern about civilian harm in Gaza during military operations, while officials on all sides have at times disputed casualty figures and responsibility for individual strikes. The latest reports come as authorities in the region continue to monitor security developments closely.
