Israel struck Gaza's Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, claiming to have targeted a Hamas commander, while three people were killed in separate attacks on Gaza.
Israel's military struck the compound of a Gaza hospital on Saturday, claiming it was targeting a Hamas commander, while the territory's health officials said Israeli strikes elsewhere killed three people.
It is the latest deadly Israeli violation of a US-backed ceasefire that took effect in October 2025, with Israel killing hundreds of Palestinians in the devastated Gaza Strip despite the truce.
Israel claimed to have struck a Hamas commander who "was hiding within the compound" of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the central city of Deir al-Balah, but was unable to immediately confirm if he had been killed.
It said the commander, who it did not name, and was hit in a structure adjacent to hospital buildings.
The hospital reported that three people had been injured in an Israeli strike near a warehouse close to the maternity ward inside the medical facility.
Earlier in the day, Al-Aqsa Hospital reported one person killed by Israeli fire in the eastern area of the city.
The Israeli military said it was checking the reports.
In Gaza City, the civil defence agency said an Israeli strike near a roundabout in the Tel al-Hawa neighbourhood killed two people and injured several others.
Israel has kept striking Gaza and its forces have made further inroads despite a US-brokered ceasefire announced in October.
Israeli operations in Gaza have killed at least 1,313 people since the ceasefire came into effect, according to the Palestinian territory's health ministry.
