Israeli Airstrikes Kill Five in Gaza, Including a Child, as Ceasefire Erodes

Israeli airstrikes killed five people in Gaza, including a child, as a ceasefire framework that took effect on October 10, 2025 continued to erode, Palestinians said after strikes hit a civilian home.

The Crypto Briefing said Gaza authorities documented what they describe as more than 2,400 ceasefire violations by Israeli forces since October 10, 2025, with over 1,000 people reported killed in the territory during the same period.

On April 23, 2026, the same source said an Israeli airstrike in the northern Gaza area of Beit Lahia killed five people, including three children.

In a separate incident described by Oz Arab Media, Al Jazeera correspondent Tareq Abuo Azzum reported that Israeli strikes hit a building on al-Thalatini Street in Gaza City and killed a father and his two daughters, while the mother was wounded and died later on Saturday.

Survivors and union-linked voices described the ceasefire as failing in practice, with Crypto Briefing saying Palestinians described the situation as a ceasefire in name only and pointing to near-daily attacks including airstrikes, artillery fire, and ground raids.

Al Jazeera correspondent Tareq Abuo Azzum said of the Gaza City strike, “This is a grim reality that’s growing day in, day out.”

In TRT Français’ account of new violations, medical sources told Anadolu Agency that the bodies of brothers Abdelmalek and Abdel Sattar al-Attar were transferred to Al-Shifa Hospital after an Israeli drone strike targeting Beit Lahia in northern Gaza.

TRT Français also reported that Israel’s army said it had identified two Palestinians crossing the 'yellow line' and approaching troops in a manner that constituted an 'immediate threat,' and that they were killed in an airstrike.

As the ceasefire period continued, Anadolu Ajansı reported that nine Palestinians, including three journalists, were killed this Wednesday in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip, with Munir el-Bursh, the director-general of the Gaza Health Ministry, telling Anadolu that three journalists were among the victims.

RFI reported that the funerals of three Palestinian journalists killed on Wednesday, January 21, took place on Thursday, January 22, and said their colleagues rejected the Israeli army’s claim they were operating a 'Hamas-affiliated drone.'

RFI quoted Samir Khalifa saying, “What they were doing was footage of a camp set up by an Egyptian humanitarian organization, and not a drone serving Hamas or any other organization,” describing the work as standard reporting.

In parallel, Le Monde.fr described the deaths of Abdoul Raouf Shaath, Mohammed Qeshta, and Anas Ghneim, saying an Israeli airstrike killed the three men on Wednesday as they were boarding their vehicle after filming on behalf of the Egyptian Relief Committee in the Al-Zahra camp.
