The casualties included two women and six children from two different families. Another airstrike hit a police station in Gaza City, killing at least 14 and wounding others, Shifa Hospital director Mohamed Abu Selmiya said.<\/p>\n<p>The strikes came a day before the Rafah crossing along the border with Egypt is set to open in Gaza&rsquo;s southernmost city. All of the territory&rsquo;s border crossings &mdash; the rest are with Israel &mdash; have been closed throughout almost the entire war. Palestinians see Rafah as a lifeline for tens of thousands needing treatment outside the territory, where the majority of medical infrastructure has been destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>The crossing&rsquo;s opening, limited at first, will occur as the U.S.-brokered Israel-Hamas ceasefire plan moves into its second phase. Other challenging issues include demilitarizing the strip after nearly two decades of Hamas rule and installing a new government to oversee reconstruction.<\/p>\n<p>Egypt, one of the ceasefire mediators, in a statement condemned the Israeli strikes in the &ldquo;strongest terms&rdquo; and warned that they represent &ldquo;a direct threat to the political course&rdquo; of the truce. Qatar, another mediator, in a statement called Israel&rsquo;s strikes a &ldquo;dangerous escalation&rdquo; and said continuing them poses a &ldquo;direct threat&rdquo; to the political process.<\/p>\n<p>Nasser Hospital said the strike on the tent camp in Khan Younis caused a fire, killing seven, including a father, his three children and three grandchildren.<\/p>\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/12-weeks-jail-for-school-it-support-technician-who-took-upskirt-videos-of-teachers\/\" class=\"template-1\"><span class=\"cta\">News :<\/span><span class=\"postTitle\">&lt;div&gt;12 weeks' jail for school IT support technician who took upskirt videos of teachers&lt;\/div&gt;<\/span><\/a><\/div><p>Atallah Abu Hadaiyed said he had just finished praying when the explosion struck. &ldquo;We came running and found my cousins lying here and there, with fire raging.

Where is the ceasefire they talked about?&rdquo;he said, as people inspected ruins including a bloodied mattress.<\/p>\n<p>Shifa Hospital said the Gaza City apartment building strike killed three children, their aunt and grandmother.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The three girls are gone, may God have mercy on them. They were asleep, we found them in the street,&rdquo; said a relative, Samir Al-Atbash, adding that the family were civilians with no connection to Hamas. Names were written on body bags lined up at the foot of a wall.<\/p>\n<p>Shifa Hospital said the strike on the police station killed at least 14 including four policewomen, civilians and inmates. The hospital also said a man was killed in a strike on the eastern side of Jabaliya refugee camp.<\/p>\n<p>Hamas called Saturday&rsquo;s strikes &ldquo;a renewed flagrant violation&rdquo; and urged the United States and other mediating countries to push Israel to stop them.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;All available indicators suggest that we are dealing with a &lsquo;Board of War,&rsquo; not a &lsquo;Board of Peace,&rsquo;&rdquo; senior Hamas official Bassem Naim said on X, questioning the legitimacy of the Trump administration-proposed international body meant to govern Gaza.<\/p>\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jobuzo.com\/en\/migrant-acquitted-in-first-trial-over-us-border-military-zones\/\" class=\"template-1\"><span class=\"cta\">News :<\/span><span class=\"postTitle\">Migrant acquitted in first trial over US border military zones<\/span><\/a><\/div><p>Israel&rsquo;s military, which has struck targets on both sides of the ceasefire&rsquo;s dividing line, said its attacks since October have been responses to violations of the agreement. It said Saturday&rsquo;s strikes followed what it described as two separate ceasefire violations a day earlier, in which Israeli forces killed three militants who emerged from a tunnel in an Israeli-controlled area of Rafah and four who approached troops near the dividing line.<\/p>\n<p>The number reported killed Saturday was several times higher than the daily average since the ceasefire began. As of Friday, Gaza&rsquo;s Health Ministry had recorded at least 520 Palestinians killed by Israeli fire since the start of the ceasefire. The ministry, part of the Hamas-led government, maintains detailed casualty records that are seen as generally reliable by U.N. agencies and independent experts.<\/p>\n<p>The war began with the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel that killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took 251 people hostage. The remains of the final hostage in Gaza were recovered early this week.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"small-caps text-small text-serif\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">&copy; Copyright 2026 The Associated Press.
