Israel carried out its heaviest airstrikes in Gaza in weeks on Saturday, January 31, 2026, killing 26 people.
Despite the tenuous ceasefire agreed between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas, Israeli warplanes targeted the Sheikh Radwan police station west of Gaza City, killing 10 officers and detainees.
Rescue teams were searching for more casualties at the site, said the police, who are run by Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Another airstrike hit an apartment in Gaza City killing three children and two women, according to officials at Shifa hospital in the city.
Seven more were killed in a strike at a tent encampment in Khan Younis further south.

An Israeli military source told Reuters that the strikes were carried out in response to an incident on Friday in which troops identified eight gunmen emerging from a tunnel in Rafah, an area in southern Gaza where Israeli forces are presently deployed under the October ceasefire agreement.
Three of the gunmen were killed by the forces and a fourth, whom the Israeli military described as a key Hamas commander in the area, was arrested.
Hamas did not comment on the incident, which the military source said constituted a violation of the ceasefire, and it blamed Israel for breaching the truce.
