Four people, including a child, killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza

What the report says

Israeli strikes killed at least four Palestinians, including a child, across central and southern Gaza, according to medical sources cited by Al Jazeera. The report said the deaths occurred on Thursday amid continuing near-daily attacks in the enclave, with incidents reported in Deir el-Balah, Bureij, az-Zawayda and Khan Younis. Several other people were wounded in separate strikes and shelling, including some in critical condition.

According to the hospitals and local sources quoted in the report, a 27-year-old man was killed when a drone hit a tent sheltering displaced people west of az-Zawayda, a woman was killed in Khan Younis, and a child was killed by fire in Bureij refugee camp. Al Jazeera also reported drone activity, artillery fire and naval shelling in other parts of Gaza, along with Israeli military demolitions and advances near areas under its control.

The article says Gaza’s Health Ministry reported that 1,602 Palestinians have been killed and 5,794 wounded since the ceasefire took effect on October 11, 2025. It also said the broader war toll since October 2023 has reached 74,618 killed and 175,920 wounded, figures that could not be independently verified from the article alone.

The report places the latest deaths in the context of continuing criticism from Gaza officials and media authorities, who say Israel has repeatedly violated the truce. Al Jazeera’s reporting also noted that displaced families remain concentrated in tented areas and that fighting and demolition activity continue to affect civilian neighborhoods.
