Israeli airstrikes, drone attacks, and artillery fire killed at least eight Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, including journalist Muhammad Abdel Aziz al-Najjar. The casualties occurred amid persistent violations of the October 2025 ceasefire agreement, under which more than 1,430 Palestinians have been killed and over 5,000 wounded across thousands of documented violations.

// Background

The ceasefire established in October 2025 was intended to halt hostilities and alleviate severe humanitarian and commercial restrictions across the Gaza Strip. However, daily violations have been reported by local authorities, with over 5,100 documented incidents leading to widespread civilian casualties, ongoing displacement, and substantial destruction of remaining urban infrastructure.

// Key Developments

  • A drone strike on a civilian transit minibus in Gaza City's Tal al-Hawa neighborhood killed five to six people and wounded over a dozen.
  • Palestinian journalist and radio broadcaster Muhammad Abdel Aziz al-Najjar was killed in a drone strike near Khan Younis.
  • An airstrike targeting an apartment near Al-Shifa Hospital killed a Palestinian woman, identified as Iman Abdel Aal.
  • Health authorities report that at least 1,431 Palestinians, including around 300 children, have been killed by Israeli forces since the October 2025 truce was signed.
  • Total casualties across the Gaza Strip since October 2023 exceed 74,000 deaths and 175,000 injuries, with 82% to 90% of infrastructure damaged or destroyed.
