Israeli forces conducted targeted airstrikes in the central Gaza Strip on June 3, 2026, killing three Palestinians in the Mughraqa and Maghazi refugee camps. Among the victims were two brothers killed in a residential courtyard. The strikes occurred as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced directives for the IDF to potentially seize 70 percent of Gaza. Hamas officials condemned the attacks as a violation of the October 2025 truce, which has seen increasing fragility in recent weeks.
