Israeli fire killed at least three Palestinians ‍in two separate incidents ​across the enclave, local health authorities ‌said, as tension ​rises over continued violence. There was ⁠no comment from the Israeli military on the two incidents. Fighting has largely abated since Israel ‌and Palestinian militant group Hamas ‌agreed to a ceasefire in October, two ‍years into the war, but it has not stopped entirely. ‍Israel and Hamas have traded blame over the violations of the deal. A Hamas official told Reuters on Sunday (January 11, 2026) that the group urged mediators to intervene to stop “daily Israeli ⁠killings that aim to derail the ceasefire deal.”More than ​440 Palestinians, most of them ⁠civilians according to Gaza health officials, have been killed since the truce, as well as three Israeli soldiers.
