CAIRO — Israeli strikes killed at least eight Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, health officials said, as ceasefire efforts meant to end fighting between Israel and the Hamas militant group falter.
In the weeks since halting its joint bombing with the United States in Iran, Israel has stepped up its attacks in Gaza. Medics said an Israeli strike killed one Palestinian near a police post and another at a tent encampment in Khan Younis in the enclave's south.
The Israeli military said it killed a militant who posed an immediate threat to forces in the area.
Separately, Gaza medics said another Israeli airstrike killed at least three people at a community kitchen near Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza area. The Israeli military said the strike targeted a Hamas commander developing anti-tank missiles.
