Israeli Airstrikes in Gaza Kill 32 in Sheikh Radwan District
Israeli military aircraft launched a series of airstrikes across the Gaza Strip on May 1, 2026, resulting in at least 32 fatalities, including seven children. One major strike hit a police station in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, killing seven people, including four female officers. The IDF claimed the strikes targeted commanders from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad and weapons depots. These actions were justified by the IDF as a response to militant violations of the tenuous October ceasefire agreement.
