Israeli strikes kill 11 Palestinians including children and journalists in Gaza

On January 21, 2026, Israeli military strikes in the Gaza Strip killed at least 11 Palestinians, including two 13‑year‑old boys, three journalists, and a woman, according to hospital officials and Gaza health authorities. The deaths occurred on one of the deadliest days since a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel began in October 2025, with the fatalities reported across multiple locations including central and southern Gaza. Three Palestinian journalists were killed when their vehicle was struck while documenting conditions near a displacement camp. Hospital sources said the children died in separate incidents, including one while collecting firewood.
