Two Palestinians were killed and 13 others injured on Sunday in an Israeli strike targeting a car in the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood west of Gaza City, medics said. Footage circulating on social media showed the targeted car completely destroyed. Medics called on residents to provide information to help identify the two people killed after they could not be identified because of the blast.
Israeli army identifies target of strike
The Israeli army said the strike targeted two Hamas fighters, without disclosing further information about their identities or the circumstances of the strike. A ceasefire reached in October 2025 with US support halted major combat operations in Gaza, but did not permanently end the strikes or the war.
Hamas accuses Israel of violating the ceasefire and obstructing US President Donald Trump's plan to end the conflict in Gaza, which includes Israel's withdrawal from the Strip and the group's relinquishment of its weapons. Israel, meanwhile, says Hamas is violating the agreement.
