Story summary

On September 13, 2026, an Israeli airstrike hit a vehicle in Tel Al-Hawa, a neighborhood in western Gaza City, killing at least two Palestinians and injuring thirteen others. Medical staff reported that the explosion had dismembered the bodies of the deceased and called for public assistance to identify them. The Israeli military claimed it targeted two Hamas militants involved in weapons production, specifically naming Hassan Ali Abu Nada and Abd al-Rahim Ahmad Khalil Khawa.

The incident occurred despite a ceasefire agreement brokered by the U.S. in October 2025, which aimed to end large-scale conflict but has not stopped Israeli strikes on Gaza. Over 1,300 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have been killed since the ceasefire began, according to local health officials. Hamas accuses Israel of violating the truce and undermining President Trump’s peace plan, while Israel contends that Hamas continues to violate it.
