Israeli strikes killed at least eight Palestinians, including five police officers and a child, in two attacks across Gaza on Sunday, November 1, medical sources and Gaza authorities said.
In Gaza City’s al-Rimal neighborhood, an airstrike killed at least three people, including a young child, and wounded others, hospital sources said. In a separate strike in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis, five police officers were killed and several people were wounded, according to Gaza’s Hamas-run Interior Ministry and Nasser Medical Complex. The ministry said the officers were carrying out routine duties.
Its broader claim that at least 75 police officers and security personnel have been killed since the October 2025 ceasefire was not independently verified in the reports. The Israeli military said its strike in Khan Younis targeted militants. It did not immediately comment on the attack in Gaza City.
The deaths were reported during a fragile ceasefire. Israel and Hamas were exchanging accusations about violations and the terms of a broader agreement. The strikes added to the danger and uncertainty faced by civilians in the enclave.
Many people there remain displaced, and homes and infrastructure are damaged.
