Gaza: Israeli Strikes Kill Nine, Including Five Children – One of the Bloodiest Days Since Ceasefire

New Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip have killed nine people, including five children, making it one of the bloodiest days since the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas came into effect. The victims lost their lives in various incidents, including attacks on tents housing displaced people and near Khan Younis. An 11-year-old girl was killed near the Jabalya camp, and an adult was killed in a school. The Israeli army confirmed it carried out strikes in response to a rocket launch. Hamas accused Israel of violating the ceasefire. Reports of gunfire during protests and accusations against Iranian security forces for using violence add to the tension.
