Israeli Strike on Car in Gaza City Kills Two Palestinians, Including Young Girl
Gaza health officials said the strike killed two people and wounded six, as Israeli attacks continued despite the U.S.-backed ceasefire.
On Sunday, an Israeli airstrike on a vehicle in western Gaza City killed Yousef Akila and his daughter, Wafaa Akila, wounding six others, according to Mohamed Abu Selmia, head of Shifa Hospital.
Since the October 2025 ceasefire, IDF strikes have killed at least 1,344 Palestinians and wounded 4,464, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, as military operations persist despite the truce.
Despite the US-backed deal announced in July, President Donald Trump claimed Israel should stop bombing, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the agreement and US support for strikes persists.
An Israeli military spokesperson said forces targeted a Hamas militant, though the military is still investigating the results of the attack.
Hamas accuses Israel of violating the ceasefire and undermining efforts to implement President Donald Trump's broader plan for Gaza, which includes Israeli withdrawals and Hamas disarmament.
