The death toll in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip since the so-called “ceasefire” agreement took effect in October reached 1,286 Palestinians killed, Gaza’s Ministry of Health said, while Al Jazeera also said that since Israel’s “genocidal war” began in October 2023, Israeli forces have killed more than 73,400 Palestinians in the territory.

In the same central Gaza area, Canal 9 Bío Bío Televisión said a 4-year-old boy died from injuries sustained in a bombing by the Israeli army in the Zawaida area, identifying the victim as Mohamed Abd al Salam Hassan Taha, and it said the attack targeted a warehouse near the tent where the boy was located.

Civil Defense and hospitals

Gaza Civil Defense emergency service said in a statement that “Staff in the central region are working to extinguish a fire in a warehouse attacked by the Israeli occupation near the Maghazi crossing, on Salah al-Din Street,” describing shrapnel that pierced the canopy and caused fatal injuries to the 4-year-old in Zawaida.

Hours earlier, Canal 9 Bío Bío Televisión said the armed forces attacked the entrance to the Maghazi camp, killing a 25-year-old man identified as Ismail Abu Al Foul, according to Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, and it said the Israel Defense Forces have not commented on the two deaths.

Cooperativa also reported that the Gaza child, Mohamed Abd al Salam Hassan Taha, died after Israel bombed the Zawaida area in the Maghazi urban refugee camp, with shrapnel from the explosion penetrating the canvas and mortally wounding the minor.

Cooperativa added that the bombing occurs despite the ceasefire in effect in the enclave since October 2025, and it cited OCHA figures that nearly 21,300 children have died in this territory due to Israeli bombings since October 7, 2023.

La Tercera also said that the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported nearly 21,300 children have died in Gaza since October 7, 2023, and it stated that the Gaza Ministry of Health reports at least 73,420 people have died since the start of the offensive.

In a separate account, Al Jazeera said at least 1,286 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip since the “ceasefire” agreement took effect in October, and it reported that Israeli forces have killed more than 73,400 Palestinians since the war began in October 2023.

The same Al Jazeera report placed the latest strike in a sequence of attacks, noting that the attack near Maghazi occurred as the Gaza Strip continued to face casualties during the ceasefire period, with the Ministry of Health tally continuing to rise.
