Israeli strikes kill two and injure others as Gaza attacks continue

What the report says

At least two Palestinians were killed and four others injured in Israeli attacks across Gaza in the previous 48 hours, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, as rescue teams continued to face difficulties reaching people believed trapped under collapsed buildings. The ministry’s figures, reported by Al Jazeera on Saturday, point to continuing strikes despite the October 2025 ceasefire framework referenced by the outlet.

In the central city of Deir el-Balah, an Israeli drone strike hit the al-Hasanat family, killing one person and injuring others. Al Jazeera reported that the area was crowded with tents sheltering displaced people and that ambulance and civil defence crews took wounded people to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. The report also said Israeli forces carried out demolition operations in Deir el-Balah and pushed into parts of the city’s east, where more homes were struck.

Elsewhere, Al Jazeera said shelling and air attacks continued in Khan Younis, as well as in central Gaza near the Nuseirat and Bureij refugee camps. The outlet reported that strikes were also intensifying in areas the Israeli military has designated as “humanitarian zones,” where large numbers of displaced people are living.

The broader context, as described by Al Jazeera, is a continuing war that has left Gaza with widespread destruction, a mounting death toll and severe strain on burial and rescue capacity. The Health Ministry said many bodies remain under rubble and that the overall Palestinian toll since October 2023 has reached 73,419, though such figures could not be independently verified in the article.
