At least two Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip on Monday, August 24, 2026, according to Palestinian medics. The strikes targeted areas in the enclave, but details on the exact locations and identities of the victims were still emerging.
The Israeli military said the strikes were in response to rocket fire from Gaza into southern Israel, which caused no casualties but heightened tensions. The military did not immediately comment on the specific targets.
Local health officials reported that the two victims were brought to a hospital in Gaza, where they were pronounced dead. The number of wounded was not immediately clear.
The incident is part of a broader escalation in the region, with ongoing clashes and periodic exchanges of fire between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants. International calls for restraint have been issued, but no ceasefire has been announced as of this report.
