IDF Airstrikes Kill 6 Including Child at Police Checkpoints in Southern Khan Younis

Israeli forces struck two police checkpoints in southern Khan Younis on March 29, killing at least six Palestinians including a child and wounding several others. A separate IDF strike killed two Palestinian brothers near the Showa roundabout in Gaza City's Shejaiya neighborhood. At least 691 Palestinians have been killed since the October 2025 ceasefire took effect. The IDF described the strikes as targeting Hamas-affiliated armed personnel; Palestinian officials condemned the strikes as attacks on civilian infrastructure. The Gaza Health Ministry confirmed the casualties and transferred victims to Nasser Hospital. Al Jazeera reported the strikes as part of a pattern of continued Israeli military operations in Gaza during the Iran war period, with international attention focused elsewhere.
