Gaza’s Hamas-run interior ministry said five police officers were killed while carrying out their usual duties in al-Mawasi, in the southern city of Khan Younis. It named the officers and blamed an Israeli strike.
In Gaza City, a medical source told the newspaper Al-Shorouk that three people, including a child, were killed in the Rimal neighbourhood. Local hospitals also received injured people, according to an ANP/AFP report.
Reuters reported that the Israeli military said it had struck several militants in Khan Younis, without giving further details. It was not clear whether the military was referring to the same strike in which the police officers were reported killed. The military did not immediately comment on the Gaza City strike, Reuters said.
The reported deaths follow other deadly attacks in Gaza since a ceasefire took effect in October 2025.
