GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories, Feb 27, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Gaza's civil defence ministry said Israeli strikes killed at least five people on Friday. A drone strike in the south of the strip shortly after midnight killed three and injured several more people, the agency added. Gaza's health ministry, which operates under Hamas authorities, has previously said at least 601 people had been killed since the truce began. The Israeli military says at least four of its soldiers have been killed in the same period. Media restrictions and limited access in Gaza have prevented AFP from independently verifying casualty figures or freely covering the fighting.
