Israel Says Gaza Strikes Kill Two Hamas Commanders
What happened
Israeli strikes in two separate attacks in the Gaza Strip on Sunday left at least eight Palestinians dead, including five police officers, hospitals and the Hamas-run interior ministry said.
In Gaza City, a missile hit civilians near a school and killed three people, among them a four-year-old boy, hospital officials told the BBC.
The interior ministry said a drone attack in the Al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis killed five officers aged 23 to 53 and called it a "horrific massacre".
The Israeli military said it hit militants or military operatives in two attacks, but gave no evidence or further details.
The ceasefire took effect in October last year, yet Gaza's health ministry says 1,580 people have been killed since then, according to the BBC; Reuters cites a figure of at least 1,500.
Israel says Hamas is rearming and attacking in violation of the truce, which Hamas denies, while talks on disarmament and Israeli troop withdrawal remain stalled.
“There is no ceasefire; the war is ongoing, don't you see?”
