Israeli airstrike kills girlairstrike kills girl and woman in southern Gaza
An Israeli airstrike hit a tent and a displacement camp in southern Gaza on Monday, killing a six-year-old girl and a woman, according to Palestinian health and hospital officials.
The strike also wounded 17 other people, including children, as fighting in the enclave continued. It matters because civilian deaths and injuries keep rising in a conflict that remains central to regional stability and ceasefire efforts.

The AP report said a Palestinian woman and a young girl were killed in southern Gaza on Monday. It framed the incident as part of the ongoing war and relied on hospital authorities for confirmation.
- Gaza’s population has been repeatedly displaced since the conflict began in 2023.
- Khan Younis is named after a Mamluk-era caravan stop and market town.
- Children often make up a large share of Gaza’s civilian population, so their deaths draw intense international attention.

Israel and Hezbollah have agreed to a 60-day ceasefire that mandates Israeli troop withdrawal from southern Lebanon while the Lebanese army deploys across all border crossings and the south.
