Hospitals in Gaza said Israeli strikes killed at least 30 Palestinians, including several children, on Saturday (January 31, 2026), one of the highest tolls since the October ceasefire, a day after Israel accused Hamas of new truce violations. The strikes hit locations throughout Gaza, including an apartment building in Gaza City and a tent camp in Khan Younis, said officials at hospitals that received the bodies. Shifa Hospital said the Gaza City apartment building strike killed three children, their aunt and grandmother. Shifa Hospital said the strike on the police station killed at least 14 including four policewomen, civilians and inmates. As of Friday, Gaza’s Health Ministry had recorded at least 520 Palestinians killed by Israeli fire since the start of the ceasefire.
