Israeli attacks across Gaza on Thursday have killed at least five Palestinians as the IDF continues its constant violations of the US-backed ceasefire deal.
Medics told the Palestinian news agency WAFA that at least three people were killed by Israeli strikes in Gaza City, including one who was hit by Israeli artillery shelling in the southwestern Zeitoun neighborhood and two who were killed by an Israeli airstrike in the northeastern Tuffah neighborhood.
Reuters reported that an Israeli strike also hit a tent encampment west of Gaza City, killing one person. Another Palestinian was killed by an Israeli strike on a vehicle in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, and an airstrike hit a residential building in the Nuseirat refugee camp in southern Gaza.
Jibril Khattab, a relative of one of the victims of the Thursday attacks, spoke with Reuters while mourning at the al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. “The entire people of Gaza have not lived a single day or a single moment of ceasefire. This ceasefire is an illusion,” Khattab said. “No place in all of Gaza is safe.”
Gaza’s Health Ministry said in its daily update, which it releases about midday Gaza time, that it recorded the Israeli killing of three Palestinians and the injury of 28 over the previous 24-hour period. It said that since the so-called ceasefire deal was signed in October 2025, the IDF has killed 1,127 Palestinians in Gaza and wounded 3,643.
“A number of victims are still under the rubble and in the streets, as ambulance and civil defense crews have been unable to reach them so far,” the ministry wrote on Telegram.
