Israeli strike kills two Palestinians in a car in Gaza, medics say

The air strike near Al-Azhar University wounded several others amid ongoing violence with over 640 Palestinians killed by Israeli fire since last October, Gaza health officials said.

  • On March 8, an Israeli air strike killed at least two Palestinians in Gaza City, hitting a car near Al-Azhar University, medics said.
  • The campaign and the October ceasefire context show Israel and Hamas remain under a U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire that began last October, yet near-daily violence continues with both sides blaming each other for violations.
  • Medics reported immediate casualties and uncertainty as several others were wounded, the victims' identities were unclear, and the Israeli military did not immediately respond to requests for comment about Sunday's strike.
  • The Gaza health ministry reported mounting casualties, saying at least 640 Palestinians have been killed since October, while local health authorities note over 72,000 deaths in more than two years.
  • The episode forms part of the larger war that began on October 7, 2023, amid reports of declining strikes since the U.S.-Israeli campaign against Iran started about a week ago.
