Israeli Bombardment And Gunfire Kill Four Palestinian Civilians Across Gaza

Four Palestinian civilians were killed in Israeli bombardment and gunfire across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, according to Al-Jazeera Net, as attacks continued despite a ceasefire that “went into effect on October 10.”

“Israeli soldiers and settlers have killed at least 11 Palestinians across Gaza and the occupied West Bank, according to Palestinian officials and local media, in the latest bloodshed to occur during a “ceasefire” announced in October”

Al Jazeera

Al-Jazeera Net reported that Mahmoud Bassal, spokesperson for the Gaza Civil Defense, said three Palestinians were martyred by Israeli bombardment at midnight near the Zaqzouk intersection in the Al-Amal neighborhood, northwest of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, with “Israeli warplanes seen flying over the area after the attack.”

The same report said a Palestinian woman was martyred by Israeli naval gunfire in the Al-Salatin area west of Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip.

Al-Jazeera Net added that “According to the Gaza Health Ministry, since the ceasefire began, the violations and Israeli assaults have left 777 Palestinians martyred and 2,193 others injured,” while “The Israeli army also says that five of its soldiers were killed in Gaza during the same period.”

In a separate Al Jazeera report, Israeli soldiers and settlers killed at least 11 Palestinians across Gaza and the occupied West Bank “in the latest bloodshed to occur during a ‘ceasefire’ announced in October.”

Al Jazeera said that in Gaza, “at least seven Palestinians were killed in a series of Israeli attacks,” including “a child who died from injuries sustained days earlier,” and that “21 were reported on Tuesday to have been injured over a 24-hour period.”

Multiple reports tied Tuesday’s fatalities to attacks around Khan Younis and Beit Lahia, with different descriptions of how the strikes unfolded.

Al Jazeera said “three Palestinians were killed near Khan Younis in southern Gaza,” including “a man who had recently married,” and it added that “Another Palestinian man was later killed on Tuesday in an Israeli drone attack near the Sheikh Nasser neighbourhood, east of Khan Younis.”

In the same Al Jazeera account, “a Palestinian woman was killed when Israeli naval forces shelled tents sheltering displaced families northwest of Beit Lahiya.”

Al-Jazeera Net similarly placed a naval killing in “the Al-Salatin area west of Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip,” naming the location but not the victim in that specific line.

Anadolu Ajansı reported that “Israeli forces killed six Palestinians, including a woman, in the Gaza Strip early Tuesday through airstrikes and gunfire,” describing “Four Palestinians” killed in “an Israeli airstrike targeting the Al-Amal neighborhood in central Khan Younis in southern Gaza,” with “the bodies taken to Nasser Hospital.”

Anadolu Ajansı also said “Witnesses said an Israeli drone fired at least one missile at a group of people in the area, killing four,” and it described “Another Palestinian was killed in an Israeli strike on a post office in the Sheikh Nasser neighborhood east of Khan Younis.”

For the north, Anadolu Ajansı said “a 30-year-old woman was killed, and others were wounded after Israeli naval forces opened fire toward tents housing displaced people in the Al-Salatin area west of Beit Lahia,” aligning the Beit Lahia location with Al-Jazeera Net’s earlier mention of Al-Salatin.

Beyond the immediate incidents, the sources described a running tally of ceasefire violations and the scale of casualties since the October ceasefire began.

Muslim Network TV said the “latest bloodshed adds to a grim and growing toll accumulated since a ceasefire formally took effect in October 2025,” and it stated that “Since the truce came into force on 10 October 2025, Israel has violated it at least 2,400 times through a combination of air attacks, artillery fire and direct shootings.”

It further claimed the Government Media Office in Gaza documented “921 incidents of Israeli forces shooting at civilians, 1,109 bombardments and shellings, 97 incursions into residential areas beyond the deployment line, and 273 demolitions of homes and structures,” and it added that “Fifty Palestinians have also been detained.”

In parallel, Anadolu Ajansı said “The Gaza government media office said that Israeli forces have committed about 2,400 violations since the agreement took effect,” and it listed that these included “killings, arrests, blockades, and starvation measures.”

Anadolu Ajansı also cited Gaza’s Health Ministry figures that “these violations have resulted in the deaths of 777 Palestinians and injuries to 2,193 others as of Monday,” while CGTN reported that “Palestinian health officials say Israeli strikes kill five” in separate incidents on Monday.

CGTN said medics reported “one man was killed in an Israeli air strike in the Bureij camp in the central area of the enclave,” and it added that “Later on Monday, an Israeli air strike killed at least three people in western Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip.”

CGTN also described the broader ceasefire context, saying “Progress has stalled on parts of the deal, which include the disarmament of Hamas and Israeli army pullouts,” and it noted that “Israel and Hamas have traded blame for ceasefire violations.”

The sources also included explicit assessments and statements from named figures and institutions about the ceasefire’s meaning and the pattern of violence.

Muslim Network TV quoted UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk, saying that “The unrelenting pattern of killings reflects continuing disregard for Palestinian lives, enabled by sweeping impunity,” and it added Türk’s warning that “Palestinians have no blueprint for survival: whatever they do or don’t do, wherever they go or don’t go, there is no safety or protection afforded to them.”

The same report said it was “hard to square this with a ceasefire,” quoting Türk’s assessment that “It is hard to square this with a ceasefire.”

Muslim Network TV also described the ceasefire as “Ceasefire in name only,” tying that framing to the Government Media Office in Gaza’s documentation of “921 incidents of Israeli forces shooting at civilians” and “273 demolitions of homes and structures.”

Anadolu Ajansı similarly emphasized the Gaza government media office’s claim that Israeli forces committed “about 2,400 violations since the agreement took effect,” and it said those violations included “blockades” and “starvation measures.”

In Al Jazeera’s reporting, journalist Tareq Abu Azzoum said Israel was showing “no intention of scaling back its attacks,” and he added that “Israel’s ongoing attacks are not simply causing destruction and casualties but are reigniting fear across communities that have barely had time to recover.”

Al Jazeera also quoted Palestinian journalist and policy analyst Mariam Barghouti, saying Israelis are carrying out “intensified and increasingly violent attacks in the West Bank with the purpose of dispossessing Palestinians from their homes and lands.”

While Gaza dominated the accounts, Al Jazeera also reported killings in the occupied West Bank during the same period described as a ceasefire.

“GAZA CITY / ISTANBUL (MNTV) — Israeli forces killed four Palestinians — including a woman — in separate attacks across the Gaza Strip early Tuesday, through a combination of airstrikes, drone fire and naval shelling, according to medical sources and witnesses on the ground”

Muslim Network TV

It said “four Palestinians were killed on Tuesday, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health,” including “two in an attack by Israeli settlers on al-Mughayyir village, east of Ramallah,” where the ministry said “a 14-year-old school student, Aws Hamdi al-Na’san, and 32-year-old Jihad Marzouq Abu Na’im were shot dead when settlers attacked the al-Mughayyir Boys School.”

Muslim Network TV

Al Jazeera added that “Four others were wounded,” and it said “Local officials said Israeli soldiers opened fire while protecting the settlers.”

In Hebron, Al Jazeera reported that “16-year-old Mohammad Majdi al-Jaabari was killed when he was struck by a vehicle belonging to a security convoy escorting an Israeli minister near the settlement of Kiryat Arba,” and it said Wafa reported the teenager “had been cycling to school shortly after dawn when he was run over.”

The report also named Israeli Settlement Minister Orit Strock, saying “The Haaretz newspaper quoted a security source as saying the convoy was travelling to provide security for Israeli Settlement Minister Orit Strock, who lives in a settlement in Hebron.”

Al Jazeera then broadened the stakes by citing casualty totals in the West Bank, stating “According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, 1,152 Palestinians, including 239 children, have been killed and more than 11,885 injured in the West Bank since October 7, 2023,” and it added “At least 48 Palestinians have been killed there since the start of this year.”

In Gaza, the same Al Jazeera report described how humanitarian access and crowding intersected with the violence, saying Israel’s occupation of eastern Gaza left Palestinians “crowded into western areas and humanitarian aid remains severely restricted by Israel.”
