Summary
Five Palestinians were killed in Gaza on Friday, including two brothers and another relative in a strike on a home outside Khan Younis, despite the U.S.-brokered October ceasefire.
Two other Gaza strikes killed one person each in Gaza City, while Israel’s military confirmed strikes there but said it was not aware of the Khan Younis attack.
Three more Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Jenin in the West Bank; Israel identified one as Hamas operative Qais Bitawi and the other two as accomplices.
Gaza health officials say more than 1,300 Palestinians have been killed in airstrikes since the ceasefire deal, while 87 Palestinians and three Israelis have been killed in West Bank violence in 2026.
