Israeli Forces Kill Four Palestinians In Gaza, Including Woman, In Shelling And Gunfire

Israeli shelling and gunfire killed four Palestinians in Gaza on Tuesday, according to WAFA Agency, Anadolu Ajansı, and Muslim Network TV.

WAFA said three Palestinians were killed in a shelling that targeted the Zaqzouq intersection in the al-Amal neighborhood, west of Khan Younis, and named Darwish al-Attal, Saad Abu Hilal, and Majed Abu Musa.

WAFA added that a Palestinian woman was killed by Israeli naval gunfire in the al-Salatin area, west of Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip.

Anadolu Ajansı similarly reported that Israeli forces killed four Palestinians, including a woman, and said three were killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting the Al-Amal neighborhood in central Khan Younis, with bodies taken to Nasser Hospital.

Anadolu Ajansı also said witnesses reported an Israeli drone fired at least one missile at a group of people, killing three, and that Israeli artillery shelled eastern areas of Khan Younis with no casualties reported.

Muslim Network TV described the same overall pattern of separate attacks across the Gaza Strip early Tuesday, saying the killings came “through a combination of airstrikes, drone fire and naval shelling,” and it placed three deaths in Khan Younis and the fourth in the north.

The TRT World report likewise tied the violence to the ceasefire period, saying “Three people were killed as a result of an Israeli strike at midnight in the vicinity of the Al-Zaqzouq junction in Al-Amal neighbourhood, northwest of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip,” and it identified Darwish al-Attal among the dead.

The Tuesday deaths were reported as occurring during an ongoing ceasefire that, multiple sources say, Israel has repeatedly violated.

Muslim Network TV framed the killings as “far from isolated,” saying 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,” and it attributed the figure to the Government Media Office in Gaza.

It further listed “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 said “Fifty Palestinians have also been detained.”

Anadolu Ajansı also said the incidents came as part of “ongoing Israeli violations of a ceasefire in place since Oct. 10, 2025,” and it reported that the Gaza government media office said Israel committed about “2,400 violations” since the agreement took effect.

Anadolu Ajansı added that “According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, these violations have resulted in the deaths of 777 Palestinians and injuries to 2,193 others as of Monday.”

TRT World similarly said the fresh casualties were “the latest in ongoing Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement in effect in the Palestinian enclave since October 2025,” and it quoted the Gaza Government Media Office statement that Israel had “so far committed 2,400 violations of the ceasefire agreement, including killings, arrests, the ongoing siege, and starvation.”

CGTN, covering Monday incidents, similarly tied violence to the ceasefire period, saying the strikes “overshadow the US-brokered ceasefire deal signed in October” and that “More than 750 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire deal took effect, according to local medics.”

Across the reports, the same set of victims and locations recur, with additional personal details provided by some outlets.

WAFA named Darwish al-Attal, Saad Abu Hilal, and Majed Abu Musa as the three killed in the Zaqzouq intersection shelling in the al-Amal neighborhood, west of Khan Younis, and it said Darwish al-Attal had been married for only a few days.

TRT World also identified Darwish al-Attal and said he celebrated his engagement only yesterday, while it described the attack as occurring “at midnight” in the vicinity of the Al-Zaqzouq junction in Al-Amal neighborhood, northwest of Khan Younis.

İlke Haber Ajansı likewise reported that “Four Palestinian citizens, including a newlywed man and a woman, were martyred,” and it said the martyrs included Darwish al-Attal, Saad Abu Hilal, and Majed Abu Mousa, with witnesses saying al-Attal had “just celebrated his wedding a day before he was martyred.”

For the northern Gaza death, WAFA said a Palestinian woman was killed by Israeli naval gunfire in the al-Salatin area, west of Beit Lahia, while Muslim Network TV described a “30-year-old woman” shot dead after Israeli naval forces directed fire toward a cluster of tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in the Al-Salatin area, west of Beit Lahia.

İlke Haber Ajansı named the woman as Hiba Abu Shaqfa and said she “succumbed to her injuries after being shot by an Israeli gunboat in the as-Salatin area of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza.”

Anadolu Ajansı described the same Al-Salatin area incident, saying “a 30-year-old woman was killed, and others were wounded” after naval forces opened fire toward tents housing displaced people.

The sources also include explicit assessments and statements from named officials and organizations about the ceasefire and the pattern of killings.

Muslim Network TV quoted UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk, saying, “The unrelenting pattern of killings reflects continuing disregard for Palestinian lives, enabled by sweeping impunity,” and it added 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.”

It also quoted Türk’s conclusion that “It is hard to square this with a ceasefire.”

TRT World, while focusing on the immediate strike, used a direct quote from Gaza’s civil defence agency spokesman Mahmoud Bassal, saying, “Three people were killed as a result of an Israeli strike at midnight in the vicinity of the Al-Zaqzouq junction in Al-Amal neighbourhood, northwest of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.”

Anadolu Ajansı attributed its ceasefire-violation figures to the Gaza government media office and to Gaza’s Health Ministry, stating that the office said Israel committed about “2,400 violations” and that the Health Ministry reported “deaths of 777 Palestinians and injuries to 2,193 others as of Monday.”

WAFA’s report relied on “Local sources” for the identification of the victims and the targeting of the Zaqzouq intersection and the al-Salatin area, and it framed the deaths as occurring “on Tuesday by Israeli shelling and gunfire.”

Muslim Network TV also referenced the ceasefire’s start date and still described the continuing violence, while it highlighted specific killings including “Ritaj Rihan” and Al Jazeera journalist “Mohammed Washah.”

While the core incident—four Palestinians killed in Gaza early Tuesday—appears across multiple outlets, the reporting differs in emphasis, timing, and the way the ceasefire is characterized.

WAFA and Anadolu Ajansı both describe three deaths tied to the Al-Amal neighborhood and Zaqzouq intersection area in Khan Younis, but WAFA says the shelling targeted the Zaqzouq intersection and names the victims, while Anadolu Ajansı says three were killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting the Al-Amal neighborhood and that witnesses said a drone fired at least one missile.

Muslim Network TV similarly places three deaths in Khan Younis and a fourth in the north, but it explicitly says the attacks involved “airstrikes, drone fire and naval shelling,” and it adds that Israeli artillery opened fire on eastern parts of Khan Younis “though no casualties were reported in that particular volley.”

TRT World, by contrast, presents the incident as an “overnight” strike and gives a specific time marker, quoting Mahmoud Bassal that “Three people were killed as a result of an Israeli strike at midnight,” and it uses the phrase “truce violations continue” in its headline framing.

İlke Haber Ajansı also aligns with the same victim names and locations, but it adds the detail that the ceasefire violations persisted for “the 194th consecutive day,” and it describes the attacks as “separate Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip early Tuesday.”

CGTN shifts to a different day and reports “at least five Palestinians” killed on Monday, including a strike in the Bureij camp and another in Gaza City, and it frames the situation as “the latest violence to overshadow the US-brokered ceasefire deal signed in October.”

Even within the ceasefire-violation narrative, the sources vary in the figures they cite, including Muslim Network TV’s “at least 766 Palestinians” and Anadolu Ajansı’s “deaths of 777 Palestinians,” and TRT World’s “killed more than 770 Palestinians.”

The immediate aftermath described by the sources centers on bodies being transferred to Nasser Hospital, the continuation of attacks during the ceasefire period, and the broader dispute over whether safety exists for civilians.

Anadolu Ajansı said the bodies of the three killed in the Al-Amal neighborhood were taken to Nasser Hospital, and it described the Al-Salatin incident as involving tents sheltering displaced people, with “others were wounded.”

Muslim Network TV similarly described the fourth fatality as occurring when naval forces directed fire toward a cluster of tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in the Al-Salatin area, and it said the scene “has recurred throughout the conflict.”

TRT World’s account emphasized the ongoing nature of violations, stating that “Despite an October 10 ceasefire, Gaza remains gripped by daily violence by the Israeli military,” and it tied the new casualties to the Government Media Office’s count of “2,400 violations.”

İlke Haber Ajansı added that Palestinian resistance factions condemned the ongoing aggression and called on “international mediators to pressure the occupation to uphold its ceasefire commitments,” while it said families of the martyrs began receiving mourners in Khan Younis and Beit Lahia.

CGTN, while focusing on Monday, said the violence “overshadow[s] the US-brokered ceasefire deal signed in October” and reported that “Progress has stalled on parts of the deal, which include the disarmament of Hamas and Israeli army pullouts.”

Across the sources, the stakes are framed in terms of civilian protection and the scale of harm during the ceasefire, with figures ranging from “at least 766 Palestinians” to “deaths of 777 Palestinians” and “killed more than 770 Palestinians.”
