Israeli strike kills two people in Gaza, medics say

CAIRO, Sept 13 (Reuters) - ‌An Israeli ​airstrike ​on Sunday killed at least two Palestinians in a vehicle and wounded 13 others ‌in the Gaza Strip, medical staff said.

The strike ⁠in the Tel Al-Hawa neighbourhood in western Gaza City, ‌left the vehicle mangled, according ‌to footage circulated on social media. Local medical staff told Reuters that they urged people to ​provide information that could help identify the two people who were killed and whose bodies ⁠were dismembered by the explosion.

The Israeli military said the strike targeted two ​Hamas militants, without giving further information.

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

Hamas accuses Israel of violating the ceasefire and undermining efforts to implement U.S. 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.
