An Israeli airstrike on a car in Gaza City on Sunday killed two Palestinians and injured others, WAFA reported. Images show a charred vehicle in Tal al-Hawa. The Israeli military said the strike targeted two alleged Hamas military operatives linked to a technical unit developing weapons, though these claims could not be independently verified. A ceasefire has been in place since October 2025, but incidents and intensified Israeli strikes continue.

An Israeli airstrike on Sunday struck a car in Gaza City, killing two Palestinians and wounding others, the Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.
Photographs released by WAFA showed a charred vehicle in the Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood, southwest of Gaza City.
Military Statement
The Israeli military said it targeted two members of Hamas's military wing, describing them as part of a technical unit allegedly involved in producing and developing weapons and preparing attacks against Israelis. These claims could not be independently verified.
Wider Context
A ceasefire has been in effect in the Gaza war since October 2025, but deadly incidents and targeted strikes continue to occur. Israel has said it has stepped up air operations aimed at senior Hamas figures. Independent confirmation from neutral observers or additional local sources was not immediately available.
WAFA reported the casualties and published images of the burnt-out vehicle in Tal al-Hawa.
The situation remains fluid and developing. Authorities on both sides have not yet provided corroborating evidence to substantiate all claims.
