Israeli strikes in Gaza kill eight, including five police officers and a four-year-old boy, hospitals and Gaza officials say
Hospital officials said an Israeli strike in Gaza City's Al-Rimal neighbourhood killed three people, including a four-year-old boy, and Gaza's Hamas-run interior ministry said a drone strike in Al-Mawasi near Khan Younis killed five police officers. The Israeli military said it struck what it described as military operatives.
Israeli strikes in Gaza killed at least eight people on Sunday 1 November, according to hospitals and Gaza officials.
In Gaza City, hospital officials said a missile hit a group of people next to Cairo School in the Al-Rimal neighbourhood, killing three, including a four-year-old boy, the BBC reported. In Al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis, Gaza’s Hamas-run interior ministry said a drone strike killed five police officers aged 23 to 53 while they were “carrying out their routine duties”. The ministry called it a “horrific massacre”.
The Israeli military said it carried out two strikes on what it described as military operatives. It did not give further details or evidence, the BBC reported.
Since the ceasefire took effect in October 2025, 1,580 people have been killed in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, whose figures the UN considers reliable. Israel says it is targeting Hamas.
Background: The war began with the Hamas-led attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 taken hostage. Gaza’s health ministry says 74,594 people have been killed in Gaza since then. Under the ceasefire, all remaining hostages were released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. A US-brokered peace plan for Gaza has stalled, the BBC reported. For Saturday’s strikes, see our earlier report.
