Israeli Strike in Gaza City Kills Two Palestinians

At least 1,399 Palestinians have been killed by the IDF in Gaza since the so-called ceasefire deal was signed in October 2025

An Israeli strike hit Gaza City’s al-Tuffah neighborhood on Tuesday, killing at least two Palestinians, as the IDF continues daily attacks in the Strip in violation of the US-backed ceasefire deal.

According to the Palestinian news agency WAFA, an Israeli drone hit a group of people near the Muscat school. In addition to the two people who were killed, at least three were wounded, including a child.

Gaza’s Health Ministry said in its daily update on Tuesday that, over the past 24 hours, Israeli forces killed at least four Palestinians, and another Palestinian died of wounds sustained in a previous Israeli attack, adding five more fatalities to the death toll. Another 25 Palestinians were injured by Israeli attacks.

The Health Ministry said that since the so-called ceasefire deal was signed in October 2025, the IDF has killed 1,399 Palestinians and wounded 4,863, a total of more than 6,000 Palestinian casualties.

The Trump administration continues to back Israel’s attacks in Gaza despite President Trump and the so-called Board of Peace recently announcing that Hamas had agreed to a US-proposed disarmament deal.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected the potential agreement, and other senior Israeli ministers continue to make clear that their ultimate goal for Gaza is the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian population.
