An eight-year-old boy was among seven Palestinians killed by Israeli attacks on Monday as the IDF continues its constant violations of the US-backed Gaza ceasefire deal.
The boy, identified as Jad Salman, was killed when an Israeli airstrike struck a group of Palestinians in the northern Jabalia refugee camp. According to the Quds News Network, the attack killed two other Palestinians, including 70-year-old Ismail Mousa Abu Dan.
Photos from the al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza show Palestinians mourning Salman, including his father, who is seen clutching the eight-year-old’s school. Salman is among more than 20 children who have been killed by the IDF in Gaza since May 1.
Other Israeli attacks on Monday included strikes on the al-Mawasi tent camp in southern Gaza, which killed at least two Palestinians, a strike in Deir el-Balah, central Gaza, that killed one, and an attack targeting an apartment building in Gaza City that wounded eight people.
Monday’s attacks came after Israel shut all crossings into Gaza, depriving civilians of much-needed aid deliveries, a move Israeli authorities claimed was a “security” measure following Iranian missile attacks on northern Israel, which were a response to Israeli strikes targeting Beirut’s southern suburbs. According to Haaretz, Israel’s occupation authority COGAT said the closures will be lifted on Tuesday.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said in its daily update that Israeli attacks killed at least nine Palestinians and wounded 43 over the previous 24-hour period. Since the so-called ceasefire deal was signed in October 2025, the ministry has recorded the Israeli killing of 970 Palestinians and the injury of 3,063.
