## Summary

Israeli strikes in Gaza killed at least eight people, including a four-year-old boy, according to hospitals and Gaza authorities, despite a ceasefire that began last October. The deaths highlight the continuing gap between the ceasefire agreement and conditions on the ground, as a US-brokered peace plan has stalled.

Hospital officials said a missile struck civilians near Cairo School in Gaza City, killing three, while Gaza’s interior ministry said a drone attack killed five police officers in Khan Younis. Israel’s military said it had attacked two people it described as military operatives but gave no further details or evidence. Gaza’s health ministry says 1,580 people have been killed since the ceasefire began; it reports 74,594 deaths since the war started in October 2023.
