Israeli strikes kill at least four, including children, across Gaza Strip

What the report says

Al Jazeera, citing Gaza health officials and Reuters, reported that Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip killed at least four people and injured dozens on Thursday, July 30, 2026, despite a ceasefire agreement that has been in place since October 2025. Gaza’s Ministry of Health said hospitals received six bodies and 34 wounded people over the previous 24 hours, including four newly killed people, one person who died of earlier wounds and one recovered body.

The reported attacks included a strike in Khan Younis that killed a man and an eight-year-old child at a tent encampment for displaced people, according to health officials cited by Reuters. In central Gaza’s Bureij refugee camp, an 18-month-old baby was killed and eight others were hurt when a home was hit. Al Jazeera also reported that a man on a bicycle was killed in Gaza City in a strike that wounded 10 people, while its correspondent described heavy damage around tents near a targeted building in Shati refugee camp the previous evening.

The bombings were reported as Hamas officials met mediators from Egypt, Qatar and Turkiye in Cairo to discuss implementation of the second phase of the ceasefire with Israel. Al Jazeera said the talks have been blocked mainly by disputes over Israel’s withdrawal and continued attacks, and by Israel’s demand that Hamas disarm. Reuters cited a Hamas official saying the group would provide a “positive and good” response, without giving details.

Al Jazeera also reported that the ceasefire deal called for 600 aid trucks a day to enter Gaza, but said Israeli restrictions have continued. The report said more than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed since the truce began, and at least 73,341 since October 7, 2023, citing Palestinian figures.
