Event Summary

Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip on Sunday killed at least three Palestinians, including Wessam Abdel-Hadi, the head of the Hamas-run criminal police force in Khan Younis, and his aide. This violence underscores the extreme fragility of the United States-brokered ceasefire that took effect in October 2025. Israel stated it struck militants posing a threat and members of an elite Hamas force. Despite the ceasefire, Israel has conducted almost daily attacks, and both Israel and Hamas blame each other for violations. Since the ceasefire, at least 850 Palestinians have been killed, while Israel reports four of its soldiers have been killed by militants. The broader conflict, which began in October 2023, has resulted in over 72,500 Palestinian deaths, mostly civilians, according to Gaza health authorities.
