An Israeli airstrike killed at least two Palestinians in Gaza City on Sunday, March 8, 2026, according to local health officials. The incident was reported as the deadliest in Gaza since the United States and Israel launched operations against Iran a week prior.
Militant casualties were reported traveling in a car near Al-Azhar University in western Gaza City. Several other individuals in the vicinity sustained injuries. The Israeli military has not yet commented on the strike.
Violence has persisted despite a US-brokered Gaza ceasefire deal established in October, with both parties accusing each other of truce violations.
