Israeli Strikes Kill Two in Gaza; Ben Gvir Berates Inmates
Israeli attacks in Gaza reportedly killed several Palestinians, including a three-year-old boy.
The boy was identified as Tayyem Hamdan.
Gaza health officials said another man, Hussam Nusair, also died in the strike near Deir al-Balah.
Israel's military said another attack killed two Hamas fighters in Khan Younis.
Gaza's Health Ministry reported four deaths and 14 injuries from strikes over one day.
The report says fighting has continued even though a United States-backed cease-fire was announced in October 2025.
Hamas says Israel is breaking the cease-fire, while Israel demands that Hamas disarm.
Separately, Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted a video criticizing Palestinian women held in prison, which Hamas condemned.
A Sunday Israeli strike near a bakery in Deir al-Balah killed three-year-old Tayyem Hamdan and Hussam Nusair, according to Gaza health officials.
The Israeli military said a separate Saturday attack in Khan Younis killed Yasser Abu al-Khair and Mohammed al-Adin, whom it identified as Hamas Nukhba members.
Gaza's Health Ministry said Israeli strikes killed four people and injured 14 across Gaza during the previous 24 hours.
The report says bombardment has continued despite a United States-backed cease-fire that began in October 2025, with Hamas accusing Israel of violations.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted a video from Damon prison berating Palestinian female inmates, prompting condemnation from Hamas.
