Gaza Strikes and Hospital Tally
Israeli airstrikes and drone raids hit the cities of Gaza and Deir al-Balah, and Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital reported the martyrdom of one person and injuries to others in an airstrike by an Israeli drone on Deir al-Balah. The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said six Palestinians were martyred in the past 48 hours and that hospitals received six new martyrs and 43 injured due to ongoing Israeli aggression. The Health Ministry also said the Strip’s hospitals received, in the past 48 hours, six new martyrs and 43 injured, and it added 67 martyrs to the cumulative tally after completing their data and approving them by the Governmental Committee for the Recognition of Martyrs.
The ministry said violations of the ceasefire agreement in effect since October 10, 2025 left 1,511 martyrs and 5,375 injured, and it said the total fatalities from Israeli genocide since October 2023 have risen to 74,469 martyrs and 175,492 injured. Al Jazeera Net said four Palestinians were martyred and others injured, including a child, as Israeli airstrikes and drone raids hit Gaza and Deir al-Balah on Saturday.
West Bank Olive Harvest Violence
Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian olive pickers and a photojournalist working for The Washington Post in the occupied West Bank on Friday, and Al Jazeera said the assault included masked settlers throwing stones, using slingshots, and setting olive trees on fire. Jasper Nathaniel, an independent journalist who witnessed the attack, told Al Jazeera, "We looked and saw that there was a journalist … on the ground with people surrounding her, beating her, clubbing her, robbing her, pulling her up, beating her again and kicking her." Matt Murray, executive editor of The Washington Post, said in a statement, "We are outraged by this unwarranted attack on a journalist doing her job and urge a thorough investigation and follow-through from authorities."
Al Jazeera reported that Heidi Levine, an American freelance photojournalist who works for The Washington Post, was taken to hospital in Ramallah after she was surrounded and beaten during the olive harvest coverage. Al Jazeera also said Israeli soldiers arrived after the settler assault and opened fire and used tear gas against Palestinians, shooting a man in the leg.
Ceasefire Violations and Healthcare
Israeli forces continued artillery and aerial attacks, gunfire, and home demolitions across the Gaza Strip despite the ceasefire agreement, and IMEMC News said medical sources reported Mahmoud al-Madhoun died from wounds sustained in an Israeli drone strike on the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood. IMEMC News said Israeli forces carried out demolitions in northern Gaza and detonated explosive-laden robots east of Gaza City, while Israeli military vehicles opened fire east of the Tuffah neighborhood and artillery shelled eastern Gaza City. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society warned of a deepening healthcare crisis in Gaza, and IMEMC News reported that 60% of medical imaging equipment is out of service, leaving thousands of patients without access to essential diagnostic tests and treatment.
IMEMC News said Israel’s attacks left 25 of Gaza’s 38 hospitals completely out of service, with the remaining 13 operating only partially, and it said the Health Ministry reported hospitals received the bodies of four Palestinians and treated nine injured people during the preceding 24 hours. IMEMC News added that Gaza’s Health Ministry said Israel is keeping the Rafah crossing closed for a second consecutive week to patients and wounded people who need treatment abroad.
