Five people were killed in two Israeli airstrikes on an apartment and a group of Palestinians in Gaza City on Saturday, Gaza's civil defense service said.

The Israeli military has not yet commented on the airstrikes.

The Hamas-run media office in Gaza said Saturday that 1,012 people have been killed and 3,208 others injured in Gaza so far since a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas began in October 2025.

It said the Israeli army had only allowed 54,023 out of 150,600 aid trucks to enter Gaza, and 7,417 out of 20,600 people to cross the enclave.
