At least six Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting a police post in Gaza City on Wednesday, according to medical sources cited by Reuters. Earlier the same day, one Palestinian was killed in another Israeli airstrike in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, health personnel reported. These attacks represent continuing hostilities in the enclave where international courts have found Israel liable for genocide and where a UN-backed commission has documented war crimes by all parties. The strikes come amid stalled diplomatic efforts, with Iran's foreign minister stating Tehran seeks only a full end to the war, not a ceasefire, while US President Trump reported no current dialogue between the parties. Meanwhile, European Commission President von der Leyen affirmed Europe's support for the ICC president, who faces sanctions related to the court's investigations into war crimes in Palestine.
