Israeli drone strike kills Palestinian, wounds 2 in southern Gaza

An Israeli drone strike killed a Palestinian and wounded two others in southern Gaza early Sunday, amid continued violations of the ceasefire agreement, medical sources said. The attack targeted the Al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis, according to Nasser Medical Complex. In northern Gaza, an Israeli drone dropped explosive devices on homes and tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in Al-Salatin, west of Beit Lahia, local sources said. The sources also reported continued Israeli artillery shelling in northwestern Gaza.

A day earlier, an Israeli drone strike killed two Palestinians and wounded three others in Al-Saftawi in northern Gaza, a medical source at Al-Shifa Hospital told Anadolu. According to the figures released by Gaza's Health Ministry, Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement, which took effect on Oct. 10, 2025, have killed 1,643 Palestinians and wounded 5,964 others as of Saturday. Since October 2023, Israel's genocidal war on Gaza has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians and wounded over 176,000, most of them women and children, according to the ministry.

The war has also destroyed around 90% of Gaza's infrastructure, while the UN estimates reconstruction costs at approximately $71.4 billion.
