Israeli Airstrike Kills Five in Gaza Amid Stalled Ceasefire and Targeted Hamas Leader
An Israeli airstrike in Gaza City early October 3, 2026, killed at least five Palestinians, including four women and a Christian mother and daughter, according to health officials. The strike destroyed an apartment building and started a fire. Israel said it targeted Hamas leader Ali al-Amoudi, involved in planning attacks, but results are under review. Hamas denies rearming and accuses Israel of undermining the ceasefire. The US-brokered ceasefire from last year remains stalled, with ongoing violence reported by both sides.
