Story summary

As of November 2, 2026, Israeli strikes killed at least three Palestinians and wounded several others in Gaza, according to local health officials. Two people were killed and six injured in Khan Younis, while another person died in Al-Mussadar. Israel claims Hamas is rearming and violating a year-old ceasefire, leading to increased military action against the group. However, Hamas denies these accusations and accuses Israel of undermining the peace agreement. The US-brokered ceasefire aims for reconstruction but has stalled due to disagreements over terms for disarming Hamas and withdrawing Israeli troops from Gaza, where Israel currently controls about two-thirds of the territory.
