Israeli Airstrikes Kill At Least Three Palestinians, Including A Child, In Gaza

Israeli airstrikes on Gaza on Tuesday killed at least three Palestinians, including a child, and wounded others, according to health officials and medics cited by Reuters and repeated in other reports.

“A Palestinian child was martyred and a number of police officers were injured on Tuesday evening in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a police center north of Gaza City, raising the death toll in the Gaza Strip since dawn today to 3 martyrs, as Israeli violations of the ceasefire in force since last October continue”

In the city of Gaza, medics said a Palestinian was killed and two others injured in an Israeli airstrike near the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, while another Palestinian was killed and others wounded after shelling by Israeli tanks near the central part of the Strip.

Reuters later reported that an Israeli airstrike targeted a police center in northern Gaza, killing a 15-year-old boy, and that the interior ministry run by Hamas said some police officers were also injured in the attack.

Anadolu Ajansı said the Gaza Interior Ministry stated that Israeli warplanes targeted the Sheikh Radwan Police Center north of Gaza City, causing the death of a child and injuries to several police officers and personnel.

Anadolu Ajansı also reported that earlier on Tuesday two Palestinians were killed and four others injured by an Israeli airstrike targeting areas in the northern and southern parts of Gaza City.

In addition to the Sheikh Radwan strike, Anadolu Ajansı described a drone strike on a motorcycle near Kuwait Roundabout on Salah al-Din Street southeast of Gaza City that killed a Palestinian and injured three others, who were transported to Al-Awda Hospital in the al-Nuseirat camp, while the deceased was taken to Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.

Other reports described further strikes and casualties, including an Israeli drone strike that killed a 9-year-old boy, Adel al-Najjar, east of Khan Younis, and an Israeli airstrike on a vehicle in the city of Gaza that killed four people, with doctors cited as the source of the death toll.

The Tuesday strikes and shelling were reported as continuing despite a ceasefire that went into effect in October 2025, with multiple outlets describing ongoing mutual accusations between Israel and Hamas of violating the truce.

Reuters, carried by SWI swissinfo.ch, said violence in Gaza continued despite the ceasefire that went into effect in October 2025, as Israel conducts near-daily raids on Palestinians, and that Israel and Hamas exchange accusations of violating the ceasefire.

Anadolu Ajansı similarly said the ceasefire had been in effect since October 10, 2025, and framed the attacks as ongoing Israeli violations of the ceasefire.

In the same Reuters-based reporting, SWI swissinfo.ch said Reuters had reported earlier this year that Israel had intensified its attacks on police forces run by Hamas in Gaza, which the militant group has used to bolster its control over areas under its authority in the Strip.

Anadolu Ajansı added that the Israeli Army Radio reported the army has intensified its attacks on the Gaza Strip in recent weeks and claimed it killed about 100 Hamas members.

Other reports tied the current pattern of strikes to the broader timeline of the war, with Anadolu Ajansı stating the ceasefire was reached after two years of genocide started by Israel on October 8, 2023, with American support, and leaving more than 72,000 killed and more than 172,000 wounded.

Reuters-based reporting in Journal Chrétien said Israeli air strikes have been nearly daily in the enclave since last autumn’s announcement of a ceasefire between the State of Israel and Hamas, and it cited that at least 800 Palestinians have been killed by the IDF since the ceasefire was announced.

The reporting also included direct statements from relatives and descriptions of how families and communities responded to deaths in Gaza.

In SWI swissinfo.ch’s Reuters-based account, relatives and friends gathered at the Al-Shifa Medical Complex to bid farewell to Mohammad Al-Ghandour, and the scene included two girls bursting into tears while a woman comforted them in front of the hospital’s morgue.

Abu Omar al-Nafar, a relative of the deceased, said, "The Zionist enemy does not know anything called a truce, nor does it adhere to covenants or international law or humanitarian law... The Zionist enemy works day and night to eliminate the Palestinian cause."

Reuters also said medics in Gaza reported that at least 830 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the ceasefire, while Israel says militants killed four of its soldiers during the same period.

SWI swissinfo.ch further stated that Israel says its strikes are aimed at thwarting attempts by Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups to attack its forces.

In Anadolu Ajansı’s account, the Gaza Interior Ministry said Israeli warplanes targeted the Sheikh Radwan Police Center, and it also reported that the Israeli Army Radio claimed the killing of about 100 Hamas members in recent weeks.

Journal Chrétien’s Reuters-based reporting described the broader political and legal framing, stating that an independent UN commission of inquiry denounced in a report published in September last year a genocide in Gaza incited by the highest Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for war crimes and crimes against humanity, allegedly.

Across the outlets, the same day’s strikes were presented with different casualty totals and different emphases, reflecting divergence in how events were counted and described.

SWI swissinfo.ch, citing Reuters, said Israeli airstrikes killed at least three Palestinians, including a child, and later reported a 15-year-old boy killed in an airstrike on a police center, while Anadolu Ajansı said the Palestinian death toll on Tuesday rose to three after the Sheikh Radwan Police Center strike.

Anadolu Ajansı also described multiple additional strikes and casualties, including two Palestinians killed and four injured in airstrikes in northern and southern Gaza City, and a drone strike near Kuwait Roundabout that killed a Palestinian and injured three others.

By contrast, Journal Chrétien’s Reuters-based report said Israeli air strikes on Tuesday killed five Palestinians, including a 9-year-old boy, and it also described a separate air strike that killed four people in the city of Gaza.

Another outlet, صحيفة الخليج, said health officials in Gaza said five Palestinians, including a nine-year-old child, were killed in Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday, and it described the drone killing of Adil al-Najjar and an airstrike on a car killing four people.

Al Jazeera Net’s framing focused on “Three martyrs” in airstrikes on Gaza and said the death toll since dawn today had risen to 3 martyrs, while also adding that Israeli violations of the ceasefire continued.

In addition to casualty counts, the outlets differed in how they described the ceasefire’s status and the war’s broader context, with Anadolu Ajansı describing “genocide” language and Journal Chrétien including references to an ICC warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu, while SWI swissinfo.ch kept to Reuters’ framing of ceasefire violations and near-daily raids.

The reports tied Tuesday’s killings to the broader humanitarian and territorial situation in Gaza, including ongoing occupation and evacuation orders, and they described how civilians were living amid destruction and shortages.

SWI swissinfo.ch said that since the ceasefire reached in October last year, Israel has continued to occupy more than half of the Gaza Strip, ordering residents to evacuate and destroying most of the remaining buildings.

It added that now most of the Strip’s population, more than two million Palestinians, live along a narrow coastal strip, most in tents and damaged buildings, under de facto Hamas control.

Anadolu Ajansı described the humanitarian deterioration in similar terms, saying the ceasefire was in effect since October 10, 2025, and framing the situation as widespread destruction affecting 90 percent of civilian infrastructure, alongside more than 72,000 killed and more than 172,000 wounded.

Other outlets focused on the immediate conditions facing families, including the lack of electricity and restrictions on cooking gas.

صحيفة الخليج said there has been no electricity in the Gaza Strip since the outbreak of the war in October 2023, and Palestinians complain about Israeli restrictions on the entry of cooking gas, while relatives said the child used to collect cardboard for cooking.

In SWI swissinfo.ch’s Reuters-based reporting, medics in Gaza said more than 72,500 Palestinians have been killed since the Gaza war began in October 2023, while Israel says militants killed four of its soldiers during the same period.
