GAZA CITY (Terror Monitor) — At least five Hamas fighters were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a residential building in Gaza City early Saturday, according to Gaza health officials and aid workers. The Israeli military had not immediately commented on the reported attack.
The strike comes amid renewed violence in Gaza despite a ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and Hamas under U.S. mediation in October 2025. Negotiators have yet to reach an agreement on key outstanding issues, including the disarmament of Hamas and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Palestinian territory.
Israel has intensified its attacks on Gaza in recent weeks, accusing Hamas of rebuilding its weapons stockpiles and carrying out attacks in violation of the ceasefire. Hamas has rejected those allegations, denying that it is attempting to launch attacks or replenish its weapons supplies, while accusing Israel of undermining the truce.
The unresolved disagreements have complicated efforts to implement the remaining provisions of the ceasefire agreement and secure a lasting end to the conflict.
According to Gaza health officials, at least 1,400 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire took effect in October 2025. Israel, meanwhile, says four of its soldiers have been killed by militants in Gaza during the same period.
The latest reported strike highlights the continuing fragility of the ceasefire as negotiations remain stalled over security arrangements, Hamas’s armed capabilities and the withdrawal of Israeli troops. Further details about the attack and the circumstances surrounding the reported deaths were not immediately available.
