An Israeli airstrike killed two Palestinians, including a three-year-old child, in the central Gaza Strip on Sunday. Gaza medics reported that the strike near a bakery in Deir Al-Balah killed a man named Hussam Nusair and a three-year-old boy, Tayyem Hamdan, and wounded several others. The Israeli military stated it attacked a Hamas militant, without providing further details. A ceasefire that began in October 2025, backed by the U.S., halted major fighting in the territory. However, it has not ended Israeli military strikes, which the military said are aimed at thwarting attacks by Hamas and other Gaza militants. Hamas has accused Israel of violating the ceasefire and undermining a broader plan by U.S. President Donald Trump intended to end the Gaza conflict. Gazan health officials state that over 1,300 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect, while the Israeli military reports four Israeli soldiers have been killed during the same period. ## Disagreements in reporting The identity of the man killed in the strike is reported as Hussam Nusair by Devdiscourse, Times of India, sigmalive.com, ΑΘΗΝΑ 9,84, WTVB, and Blue Water Healthy Living. However, The Economic Times and Free Malaysia Today News do not name the man killed, and Capital.gr only states that the Israeli army announced it had attacked a Hamas fighter. ## What the coverage left out None of the centre-rated or right-rated reports printed below mention Hamas's accusation that Israel is violating the ceasefire and undermining a broader plan by U.S. President Donald Trump. ## Who covered it Shares of the 10 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 0% (0) - Centre: 60% (6) - Right: 40% (4) 9 of 19 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages.
