Israeli airstrikes, gunfire in Gaza kill 5

Israeli strikes and gunfire killed five people in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, hospital authorities said.

Four people were killed in three separate Israeli strikes in Gaza City, according to Shifa Hospital. In the southern city of Khan Younis, one person was shot dead after crossing the Yellow Line, according to Nasser Hospital.

The Israeli military said it had struck militants in Gaza City but did not immediately comment on the shooting in Khan Younis. The deaths came amid continued Israeli attacks in Gaza despite a ceasefire agreement that took effect in October 2025.

Israeli settlers attacked Palestinians and activists accompanying them as they harvested olives in the occupied West Bank, an activist and local officials said on Tuesday.

Mattan Berner Kaeish, an activist with Protect the Harvest, said the settlers struck multiple people with sticks and rocks in the village of Qusra. Rabbis for Human Rights also shared a video on Instagram showing a masked settler striking a woman in the head with a flagpole.

Associated Press footage showed Israeli forces arriving and trying to disperse crowds. After the confrontation, another group of settlers attempted to enter the village and threw stones at Israeli security forces, who responded with tear gas.

The Israeli military confirmed stones were hurled at soldiers but didn't say by whom.
