Israeli airstrikes hit a vehicle, killing ‌at least two Palestinians, including a child, and wounding seven others in the northern Gaza Strip neighborhood of Sheikh Radwan on Tuesday, the territory’s health officials ​said.

The Israeli military said it had struck a militant in the area, without elaborating.

Witnesses said some of the casualties resulted from a second strike that hit near a group of people who rushed to help in the rescue. A video, that wasn’t immediately verified by Reuters, showed a missile exploding near at least five men.

Palestinians earlier held funerals in Gaza for two ‌people who were ‌killed by Israeli strikes a day ​ago, ‌Ahmed ⁠Al-Batsh and Rafat ​Zummar.

Batsh ⁠was a local Hamas commander, according to Hamas sources and the Israeli military. Medics said Batsh died in an attack on his vehicle in northern Gaza Strip.

The Israeli military said in separate statements that it had killed both men, and it described Zummar also as a Hamas commander. Hamas didn’t immediately comment on Zummar’s affiliation.

Relatives and ⁠friends paid farewell to Batsh’s body draped in a ‌white shroud and a Hamas ‌green flag inside Gaza City’s Al Shifa ​Hospital. An M16 assault rifle ‌was placed on top of the body.

“Israel thinks... it will eliminate ‌the resistance and the spirit of jihad (devotion) within us,” said Khalil Al-Batsh, a relative of the dead Hamas militant, of the killing.

“I tell them that this cowardly operation only strengthens our people’s determination to continue on ‌this path,” he told Reuters at the funeral.

An October 2025, US-backed, ceasefire halted large-scale fighting in Gaza, ⁠but it ⁠has not ended Israeli strikes and there has been little progress on steps toward permanent peace.

Hamas accuses Israel of violating the ceasefire and undermining efforts to implement US President Donald Trump’s broader plan to end the Gaza conflict, which includes the Israeli withdrawal from the strip and the disarmament of Hamas.

Israel says Hamas has been violating the deal.

More than 1,300 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect, according to the territory’s health officials, while the Israeli military says four ​Israeli soldiers have been killed.

Hamas ​does not usually disclose information about fatalities among its fighters.
