Israeli Forces Kill Children and Civilians in Fresh Violations of Gaza Ceasefire

HeadlineJan 08, 2026

Israeli forces killed an 11-year-old Palestinian girl, Hamsa Houso, in northern Gaza on Thursday and shot another child in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City. On Wednesday, Israel bombed a residential home in the al-Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City, killing three people. The strikes occurred west of the yellow line, which confines the Palestinian population as part of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire. Since the truce took effect on October 10, Israel has killed more than 420 Palestinians and injured more than 1,100.
