ISRAELI FIRE KILLS PARENTS AND INFANT IN CENTRAL GAZA, MEDICS SAY

An Israeli strike killed a Palestinian couple and their six-month-old child in central Gaza on Sunday, according to medics cited by Reuters. The strike hit an apartment in the Nuseirat refugee camp while the family was sleeping.

Medics identified the dead as Mohammad Abu Mallouh, his wife Alaa Zaqlan, and their infant son, Osama. Reuters reported that the couple’s six daughters survived and were left orphaned.

The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the incident. Later Sunday, medics said Israeli gunfire killed another Palestinian man near a medical clinic in the Jabalia refugee camp.

The deaths occurred despite a ceasefire brokered in October 2025. Reuters reported that the truce has not stopped continued Israeli attacks in Gaza, while Israel says its actions are intended to prevent attacks and stop movement near its armistice line.

Reuters reported that about 880 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire began, without a clear distinction between civilians and militants. Four Israeli soldiers have been killed by militants during the same period, according to the same report.
