Nine Palestinians Killed Since Morning Hours, Including Three Children

Gaza Herald- Israeli forces continue to violate the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip by targeting shelters and gatherings of displaced people in various areas, using artillery shelling and drones, in addition to demolition and destruction operations within what is known as the “yellow line,” while maintaining restrictions on the movement of goods, aid, and travel.

Three civilians were killed and others injured after an Israeli drone strike targeted a civilian vehicle on Salah al-Din Street near the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza.

Sources identified the victims of the strike on the civilian car as Hazem al-Aydi, Ibrahim Mansour, and Maher al-Tantawi.

In a separate incident, a young man was killed and others were injured on Thursday when Israeli forces bombed Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip, as ceasefire violations continued.

Medical sources reported that Yahya Abu Shalhoub was killed and three others were injured after an Israeli drone targeted a group of civilians in the al-Maslakh area south of Khan Younis.

Another person was seriously injured in a drone strike targeting the Bani Suheila roundabout area east of Khan Younis.

These attacks came just hours after an Israeli strike on the town of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza killed five people, including three children, when a group of civilians was targeted.

A medical source at Al-Shifa Medical Complex reported the arrival of five bodies, including three children, along with several injured individuals, one of them in critical condition, following the strike in the Beit Lahia Project area.

Civil Defence spokesperson Mahmoud Basal stated that the victims were Abboud Mahmoud al-Abed, Alaa Nabil Hussein Balousha, Mohammad Bahaa Nabil Balousha, Anas Ihab Abu Foul, and Salah Mahmoud al-Abed.

Eyewitnesses said an Israeli drone struck a gathering of Palestinians in the courtyard of al-Qassam Mosque in the area, causing multiple deaths and injuries. Ambulances transported the victims to Al-Shifa Hospital.

In the same context, Israeli forces opened heavy fire toward the eastern areas of al-Masdar village in central Gaza, while injuries were reported from Israeli gunfire in Halawa camp in the north.

In central Gaza, four displaced people were injured by Israeli gunfire east of the Bureij refugee camp, alongside artillery shelling targeting the Bureij and Maghazi areas.

On Thursday morning, Israeli military vehicles fired intensively toward the eastern areas of the Shujaiya neighborhood in Gaza City.

The area witnessed heightened tension amid continued gunfire and escalating attacks along the eastern outskirts of Gaza City.

On April 14, the Government Media Office in Gaza stated that Israeli forces had committed 2,400 violations of the ceasefire agreement, including killings, arrests, blockade measures, and starvation policies.

According to data from the Palestinian Ministry of Health, the ongoing violations have resulted in the deaths of 784 Palestinians and injuries to 2,214 others since the ceasefire began on October 10, 2025.

The overall toll since October 7, 2023, has reached approximately 72,562 killed and 172,320 injured, reflecting the high human cost of the ongoing war on the Gaza Strip.
