Israeli strike kills a man and daugther

An Israeli strike killed a man and his 8-year-old daughter in the Gaza Strip on Sunday.



Mohamed Abu Selmia, head of Al Shifa Hospital, the enclave's largest medical facility, said the airstrike hit a vehicle in western Gaza City, killing Youssef Akila and his daughter, Wafaa, and wounding six others.



An Israeli military spokesperson said forces targeted a Hamas militant and the military was still looking into results of the attack.



Later on Sunday, two separate Israeli strikes killed two other people, including a child in Gaza City.



They added that an Israeli strikes killed at least one man near the telecommunication company east of Gaza City while an Israeli tank at a school housing displaced families killed a seven-year-old girl, taking Sunday’s death toll to at least four.



An October 2025 U.S.-backed ceasefire halted major fighting in the territory, but it failed to end strikes by the Israeli military, which it said aimed to thwart attacks by Hamas and other Gaza militants.
