Israel Kills Two Palestinians in Gaza City Air Strike After Ceasefire Breach

Israel killed two Palestinians and wounded three others in an air strike on a civilian vehicle in Gaza City, a new violation of the ceasefire, the Gaza Civil Defence Authority said on Saturday.

The statement said "martyrs and wounded fell as a result of an Israeli air strike that targeted a civilian vehicle near Al-Wahda Tower on Al-Shifa Street in western Gaza City," and medical sources said the strike resulted in the deaths of two Palestinians and wounds to three others.

The strike occurred in areas from which the Israeli army withdrew under the ceasefire agreement, and the TRT World report said the ceasefire took effect on 10 October 2025.

TRT World also said the Israeli army has continued its attacks despite the ceasefire, killing at least 870 people and wounding 2,543 others, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.

In the same report, TRT World said the Israeli army has killed more than 72,000 people, mostly women and children, and wounded over 172,000 in a two-year genocide in Gaza since October 2023.

An Israeli military officer was killed on Saturday in southern Lebanon when an explosive-laden drone detonated, Anadolu Ajansı reported.

An Israeli army statement said "24-year-old Captain Maoz Israel Recanati, a platoon commander in the Golani Brigade's 12th Battalion, was killed in clashes in southern Lebanon."

Anadolu Ajansı added that Recanati was killed by a drone strike and was the 20th Israeli soldier killed in Lebanon since the start of the war with Iran on February 28 and the 7th since the ceasefire began on April 16.

The report said Hezbollah's drone attacks on Israeli forces operating in southern Lebanon have become one of Tel Aviv's "most complex and dangerous security challenges facing its forces."

Anadolu Ajansı also said Israeli attacks in Lebanon since March 2 have killed more than 2,896 people, injured over 8,824, and displaced more than 1.6 million, about one-fifth of the country’s population, according to Lebanese officials.

In occupied al-Quds, the Jerusalem Governorate warned that Israeli authorities are expected to approve a plan to force Qudsi citizens to evacuate homes and shops in Bab al-Silsila and to seize properties, Saba reported.

Saba said the plan is based on a recommendation made by the former so-called "Minister of al-Quds and Heritage" in the occupation government to activate a government decision dating back 58 years, under the pretext of "strengthening Jewish control and security."

The governorate said the step would open the door to a new phase of forced displacement and tightening settlement control over historic Palestinian properties, and it warned that Bab al-Silsila is one of the most important historical passageways leading to al-Aqsa Mosque.

WAFA said the governorate warned against the consequences of Israeli authorities' approval on Sunday of a plan to force Palestinian residents of Jerusalem to evacuate their homes and commercial shops in the Bab al-Silsila neighborhood adjacent to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.

WAFA added that the governorate said Israeli Army Radio reported that the Israeli government intends to approve the implementation of a "confiscation and expropriation" process targeting Palestinian properties along the Bab al-Silsila route.
