Israeli Forces Kill Five People in Gaza Strip
At least five Palestinians have been killed in recent Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip, health officials report.
In recent developments, Israeli forces have intensified their attacks on the Gaza Strip.
Since halting its joint bombing campaign with the United States in Iran, Israel has redirected its focus back to the devastated Palestinian territory, where it claims Hamas fighters are strengthening their control.
According to health officials, one Palestinian was killed by an Israeli strike near a police post in Khan Younis, located in the southern Gaza Strip.
The Israeli military asserts that they targeted and eliminated a militant who posed an immediate threat to their operations in the area.
Separately, medics reported that another Israeli airstrike resulted in the death of at least three individuals at a community kitchen near Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir Al-Balah, situated in the central Gaza region.
The Israeli military has not yet provided comment on this specific incident.
Hamas confirmed the death of Izz al-Din Al-Haddad, the head of Hamas' armed wing in the Gaza Strip, after an Israeli strike on Gaza City, describing it as a precise operation.
Although Hamas did not issue any threats of retaliation, Israel has also targeted and killed Bahaa Baroud, a Hamas Operations Headquarters commander, accusing him of planning attacks against both troops and civilians.
The military emphasized that measures were taken to minimize civilian harm, including the use of precision munitions and aerial surveillance.
Gaza health officials state that Baroud, along with another individual, was killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting their vehicle in Gaza City.
Israel and Hamas remain engaged in indirect negotiations aimed at advancing U.S. President Donald Trump's plan for post-war governance in Gaza, intended to end the ongoing conflict.
Since the October ceasefire, approximately 870 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli strikes, with figures not distinguishing between combatants and civilians.
Meanwhile, four Israeli soldiers have lost their lives due to militant attacks during this period.
Hamas does not disclose specific information regarding casualties among its fighters.
