Israeli Strike in Northern Gaza Kills Three Palestinians

Palestinians in southern Gaza mourned three people, including a 10-year-old, killed by an Israeli strike a day earlier

An Israeli strike in northern Gaza on Wednesday killed at least three Palestinians, the Palestinian news agency WAFA reported, as the IDF continues its constant violations of the US-backed ceasefire deal.

According to Al Jazeera, the strike hit near al-Hilu station, which houses a private specialist hospital and a fuel station in Gaza City. WAFA reported another Israeli strike in Gaza City’s Sheik Radwan neighborhood that wounded several Palestinians, including some who are in critical condition.

In southern Gaza, Palestinians held a funeral at the Nasser Hospital for three people, including a 10-year-old, identified as Tareq Sabah, who were killed by an Israeli strike targeting an electric bike in the al-Mawasi tent camp west of Khan Younis.

Israeli troops have killed multiple children in Gaza over the past several days, including a one-year-old who was killed alongside her mother while trying to flee their tent camp in al-Mawasi after people who lived in the area received a phone call instructing them to evacuate. The spate of child killings came after a UN commission said in a report that the IDF has deliberately targeted children in Gaza, resulting in the crime of genocide.

The UN commission report noted that the killing of children has continued despite the so-called ceasefire deal that was signed in October 2025. According to the latest numbers from Gaza’s Health Ministry, since the agreement was signed, the IDF has killed 1,053 Palestinians in Gaza and wounded 3,406.
