Father, child among six Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza

In short

The latest fatalities occurred across Gaza City and Khan Younis, including strikes hitting a residential home and a displacement tent. Diplomatic talks remain paralyzed as Israel maintains control over roughly two-thirds of the territory and demands Hamas disarm before any military withdrawal. Compounding the crisis, severe weekend storms flooded tens of thousands of shelters, inflicting millions of dollars in damages while Israel blocks the vast majority of replacement tents and mobile homes.

Israel has killed more than 1,600 people in Gaza since last year’s ‘ceasefire’, the enclave’s Health Ministry says.

Israeli forces have killed at least six Palestinians, including a father and his 13-year-old son, in the Gaza Strip, according to local health sources.

Three people were killed on Tuesday in an Israeli air attack on the Ghubain family home in Gaza City’s Daraj area. A father and son were killed in a separate air attack on a tent in the city’s Zeitoun neighbourhood, and a man was killed by Israeli gunfire in the southern city of Khan Younis.
