Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital said the fatalities were Hassan al-Hanagra and his 8-year-old grandchild, Malik Abu Shawish, along with another man. Abu Shawish, whose parents are divorced, was visiting his mother\u2019s tent at the time of the strike, and his mother was among seven people wounded in the strike, hospital officials said.<\/p>\n<p>Israel\u2019s military said the strike was targeting a militant, but did not immediately name him or say if he was killed.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, in a strike Sunday in southern Gaza, the military said it killed Zaher Abu Salem, who it said was a member of Islamic Jihad and was involved in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel that triggered the war. Sunday saw a flurry of strikes around Gaza that killed four people, including a 13-year-old girl, Eileen al-Farra, who was hit by shrapnel from Israeli tank shelling and was buried Monday.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>While the heaviest fighting has subsided since a ceasefire took hold in October, Israeli forces have carried out near-daily strikes, killing 1,045 Palestinians, including more than 360 women and children, according to health officials in Gaza. Israel says it is targeting militants, often saying they were planning attacks on Israeli troops who hold more than 60% of the Gaza Strip. Five Israeli soldiers have been killed in militant attacks since the ceasefire.<\/p>\n<p>The Gaza Health Ministry, which is part of the Hamas-led government, maintains detailed casualty records that are seen as generally reliable by U.N. agencies and independent experts. But it does not give a breakdown of civilians and militants.<\/p>\n<p>Israel\u2019s campaign in Gaa has killed more than 73,058 Palestinians, including those killed since the ceasefire, according to Gaza\u2019s Health Ministry. The Hamas-led Oct. 7 attack on Israel killed some 1,200 people and saw 251 taken hostage.<\/p>\n<p>Magdy reported from Cairo.<\/p>\n<p>Find more of AP\u2019s coverage at https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/israel-hamas-war<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=2967\">TIME TO DECIDE: Colorado primary election ends tomorrow with big and small races on the ballot<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=2969\">Supreme Court rules states can count late-arriving mailed ballots, rejecting Trump-led challenge<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=2971\">Supreme Court rejects Trump\u2019s push to toss $5 million verdict in E.
