Civil Defense spokesman in Gaza, Mahmoud Basal, told Agence France-Presse that “five martyrs and a number of injuries were killed as a result of Israeli raids that targeted various areas in the Gaza Strip.”
Three people were killed in Khan Yunis Governorate in the southern Gaza Strip, one of them as a result of “Israeli gunfire,” another in a “raid carried out by a drone that targeted a tent housing displaced persons,” and a third in a “raid that targeted a group of people near a camp for displaced people,” according to what Basal explained.
In the northern Gaza Strip, a person was killed in an "Israeli raid that targeted a civilian vehicle" in the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood in southwest Gaza City. A person was also killed as a result of being injured by fragments of a bomb thrown by an Israeli drone east of the village of Al-Masdar in the central Gaza Strip, according to Basal.
Nasser Hospitals in Khan Yunis, Al-Shifa Hospitals in Gaza, and Shuhada Al-Aqsa Hospitals in Deir Al-Balah confirmed the arrival of the dead.
In turn, the Israeli army told Agence France-Presse that it “targeted several terrorists” in these areas, indicating that additional information in this regard will be issued at a later time.
Although Israel has reduced the frequency of its strikes compared to what it was before reaching a ceasefire agreement on October 10, 2025, with American-Egyptian-Qatari mediation, it continues to target the Gaza Strip, which it controls about 70% of its territory, on a daily basis.
Since then, at least 1,580 people have been killed, according to the Hamas Ministry of Health in the Strip, and the United Nations considers its figures reliable.
