Six Palestinians Killed in Fresh Israeli Attacks, Including Children

Gaza Herald – Six Palestinians, including children, were killed on Thursday in a series of Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip as violations of the ceasefire agreement continue in the Strip.

Israeli occupation forces bombarded shelters and gatherings of displaced civilians in different areas, using artillery shelling and drone strikes, alongside ongoing detonation operations near what is known as the “yellow line,” while maintaining restrictions on the movement of goods, humanitarian aid, and travel.

In southern Gaza, a young man, Yahya Abu Shalhoub, was killed and three others were injured after an Israeli drone strike targeted a group of civilians in Al-Maslakh area south of Khan Younis. Another civilian was critically injured in a separate drone strike near the Bani Suhaila roundabout east of the city.

Earlier, an Israeli strike on Beit Lahia in northern Gaza killed five Palestinians, including three children, after a drone bombed a civilian gathering in the Mashrou’ Beit Lahia area. Medical sources at Al-Shifa Medical Complex confirmed the arrival of the victims’ bodies along with several injured civilians, including critical cases.

The victims were identified as Aboud Mahmoud Al-Abed, Alaa Nabil Hussein Balousha, Mohammad Baha Nabil Balousha, Anas Ihab Abu Foul, and Salah Mahmoud Al-Abed.

Eyewitnesses reported that the strike hit a group of civilians in the courtyard of Al-Qassam Mosque, resulting in multiple casualties. Ambulances transported the killed and wounded to Al-Shifa Hospital.

Elsewhere, Israeli occupation forces opened heavy fire toward eastern areas of Al-Masdar village in central Gaza, while injuries were reported in Halawa camp in the north. In central Gaza, four displaced Palestinians were wounded by Israeli gunfire east of Al-Bureij camp, amid artillery shelling targeting Al-Bureij and Al-Maghazi.

In Gaza City, Israeli military vehicles fired intensively toward the eastern areas of Al-Shuja’iyya neighborhood as tensions escalated due to continued targeting along the eastern areas.

According to the Government Media Office in Gaza, Israeli occupation forces have committed approximately 2,400 ceasefire violations since October 2025, including killings, kidnappings, siege measures, and policies contributing to humanitarian deprivation.

Data from the Palestinian Ministry of Health indicates that 784 Palestinians have been killed and 2,214 injured since the ceasefire took effect on October 10, 2025. The overall death toll since October 7, 2023, has risen to approximately 72,562 killed and 172,320 injured, reflecting the severe human cost of the ongoing genocide.
