Story summary

On November 2, 2026, Israeli strikes killed at least three Palestinians and wounded several others in the Gaza Strip, according to health officials. Medics reported two fatalities and six injuries from separate airstrikes in Khan Younis, south of the enclave, while another person died in an airstrike on Al-Mussadar town. The Israeli military confirmed carrying out two strikes but did not provide additional details.

Israel asserts that Hamas has been rearming and violating a ceasefire agreement signed a year ago by launching attacks. In response, Israel has intensified its airstrikes targeting Hamas militants. However, Hamas denies these accusations and claims Israel is undermining the peace deal. The U.S.-brokered ceasefire from 2025 aimed to pave the way for reconstruction of Gaza; however, negotiations have stalled over terms for disarming Hamas and withdrawing Israeli troops from areas they control in Gaza.
