Israeli strikes in Gaza kill five Palestinians including two children

Five Palestinians, including two children, have been killed in Israeli military strikes on Gaza, according to reports from the territory. Among the deceased was seven-year-old Wafaa Aqila, who was struck along with her father while the family was returning home with school supplies.

The incident underscores the mounting civilian toll from military operations that have intensified across the Gaza Strip. Rescue and medical officials have been responding to multiple strike sites throughout the region.

The deaths add to the growing number of casualties reported in recent weeks as tensions between Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups remain high. Families and aid organizations have warned of deteriorating humanitarian conditions amid the ongoing conflict.

International observers continue to call for de-escalation measures and protection of civilian populations in the territory. The United Nations and humanitarian groups have expressed grave concern over civilian casualties in the densely populated enclave.
