Israel killed three Palestinians, including a child, in an airstrike on Deir al-Balah in the Gaza Strip on Monday, according to the Gaza health ministry, despite a ceasefire officially in effect since October.

The attack occurred around 9:30 a.m. local time in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, and an Israeli military official confirmed the strike without providing further details.

The Gaza health ministry said Israel has killed 12 Palestinians, including eight men and four children, since Saturday, while data released by both sides shows 1,045 Palestinians and four Israeli soldiers have been killed since the ceasefire went into effect eight months ago.

In a separate incident, the Palestinian Authority’s health ministry said Israeli soldiers killed a Palestinian boy by gunfire during a raid in the town of al-Bireh in the occupied West Bank, and the Israeli army said it is investigating the circumstances of the incident.

TRT World said Israel continued demolishing buildings and shelling areas across the enclave, reporting that it killed one Palestinian and wounded several others in an air strike on Gaza City while violations continued after the ceasefire in force since October 2025.

The TRT World report said a medical source told Anadolu Agency that the body of Mohammad Najib Ashour and several wounded were taken to Al-Shifa Hospital and Al-Ahli Arab Hospital after an Israeli drone strike targeted a young man riding a bicycle near the Asqula junction in the Zeitoun neighbourhood, southeast of Gaza City.

The same TRT World account said the Palestinian presidency warned that Israel’s "daily killing policy" in Gaza, along with illegal settler attacks in the occupied West Bank, could lead to an "uncontrollable explosion" of the situation.

In parallel, the Middle East Monitor report said at least one Palestinian was killed and several others injured in an Israeli strike on Gaza City on Saturday, and it described the funeral ceremony for 9-year-old Tariq Sabah and his uncle Omar Sabah in front of Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis.

TRT Français reported that Gaza’s ceasefire continued to be poorly observed by Israel, saying Israel continued its strikes and killed three people yesterday, while Gaza’s Health Ministry said Israeli ceasefire violations have killed 1,053 Palestinians and wounded 3,406 since October 2025.

In the same TRT Français report, Minister of Energy and Infrastructure Eli Cohen told Galei Israel radio that Israel’s control over the Gaza Strip would extend only to reach 100%, and he said Israel could not allow Hamas to raise its head, "not even by a millimeter."

The report also said an Israeli drone struck an electric bicycle on Asdaa Street in the Al-Mawasi neighborhood, west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, killing three people and wounding 17 others, while other drone strikes injured Palestinians in the Al-Faluja and Sheikh Radwan neighborhoods.

Al Jazeera Net said hospitals in the Strip received over the past 48 hours 16 martyrs and 16 wounded, and it added that the toll from ceasefire violations alone has reached 1,066 martyrs and 3,445 wounded, while it put the death toll from the genocide war on the Strip since October 2023 at 73,090 martyrs and 173,553 wounded.
