IMEMC said the attacks were occurring amid a “broader pattern documented by the United Nations,” placing the day’s incidents in the context of continuing UN-reported violations.

An Anadolu-cited report added that, since the ceasefire took effect on Oct. 10, 2025, Israeli violations had killed 1,334 Palestinians and wounded 4,429 others, and that Israel’s campaign since Oct. 2023 had killed about 73,470 Palestinians and wounded 174,540—figures attributed to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
Israeli forces launched multiple strikes and gunfire across Gaza on Thursday, killing at least four Palestinians and wounding others, according to local medical sources. Attacks hit northern areas near Beit Lahia, Gaza City neighborhoods, central refugee camps, and southern Khan Younis, with victims reported in critical condition at hospitals. IMEMC reported the incidents as part of a broader pattern of violations documented by the United Nations since the ceasefire took effect on October 10, 2025.
Since the October 2025 ceasefire began, Israeli violations have killed 1,334 Palestinians and wounded 4,429 others, according to figures cited by Anadolu. The Gaza Health Ministry attributes approximately 73,470 deaths and 174,540 wounded to Israel's campaign since October 2023, though these casualty figures remain disputed by Israeli authorities who have not released independent tallies.
Gunfire Kills Displaced People in Northern Gaza
In Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, Israeli gunfire struck areas where displaced Palestinians were sheltering. Anadolu-cited medical sources said the shots killed one Palestinian and wounded two others. Video footage captured an elderly man attempting to move through an area as gunfire landed nearby, highlighting the active danger in displacement zones.
Israeli forces later opened fire on tents sheltering displaced Palestinians and nearby homes in the same area, killing a second Palestinian, according to medical reports. The back-to-back incidents in Beit Lahia underscore the hazards facing civilians in areas designated as safe zones by humanitarian organizations.
Drone and Aircraft Strikes Hit Gaza City Neighborhoods
Drones and aircraft struck near the Church Union building and An-Nour Mosque on Thawra Street in Gaza City on Thursday. Medical staff at Shifa Medical Center received multiple victims from these strikes, with some reported in critical condition. The scale of injuries forced hospitals to prioritize emergency treatment with limited medical supplies.
The strikes in central Gaza neighborhoods marked the day's deadliest operations, concentrating firepower on densely populated areas where civilians and displaced families sheltered. No independent verification of all casualties was immediately available from international observers on the ground.
Central and Southern Gaza Face Artillery Fire and Airstrikes
In Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, Israeli fire killed one Palestinian, while artillery shelled areas near Bureij. Rescuers recovered the body of another man killed in an earlier airstrike on tents sheltering displaced people. The continued shelling of refugee camps — historically overcrowded civilian areas — resulted in multiple casualties among non-combatants.
In southern Gaza north of Khan Younis, one Palestinian was killed and three others wounded when Israeli forces opened fire, according to SANA. A separate incident killed a man who had been wounded in an earlier airstrike on displaced families in Al-Mawasi. The succession of strikes across different zones indicates sustained military operations across Gaza's territory.
Unverified Report of Girl Killed in Deir al-Balah
Local Gaza reporting claimed a girl named Israa al-Hasmi was shot dead in Deir al-Balah, but the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) had not commented on the allegation. The claim was not independently verified by international journalists or humanitarian organizations on the ground. Without IDF response or independent confirmation, the circumstances and responsibility remain unclear.
The potential death adds to the day's confirmed toll if verified. Medical sources have consistently reported child casualties in Gaza since October 2023, though exact numbers remain contested between Palestinian health authorities and Israeli military officials who dispute casualty figures and investigative findings.
