Two Palestinians, including a child, were killed and 14 others injured in Israeli attacks in central and southern Gaza Strip on Sunday, marking another violation of a ceasefire in force since Oct. 10, 2025.

A medical source at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital told Anadolu that the two victims were killed and seven others injured when Israeli forces struck areas in the town of Az-Zawayda.

The warplane struck a site in the town shortly after the Israeli army issued an evacuation warning.

Civil defense crews rushed to the area to extinguish a fire caused by the attack.

In southern Gaza, seven Palestinians were injured in an Israeli airstrike targeting a gathering of civilians near Al-Albani Mosque, west of Khan Younis, a medical source at Nasser Medical Complex said.

Israeli warships also fired shells toward the Rafah coastline, while military vehicles opened heavy fire on Palestinian homes in Hamad City, northwest of Khan Younis. No casualties were reported.

In Gaza City, Israeli warships fired bullets and shells toward fishing boats and the coastline, witnesses told Anadolu. No injuries were reported.

The attacks came despite US President Donald Trump's call for an end to Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli army has killed more than 73,000 Palestinians and injured over 174,000 others in a brutal offensive since October 2023.
