Israeli Attacks in Gaza Kill at Least Four Palestinians

Israeli attacks across Gaza on Tuesday killed at least four Palestinians as the IDF continues its constant violations of the US-backed ceasefire deal. The Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that one Israeli strike hit an apartment building in Gaza City, killing a man and his wife, identified as Akram Yassin and Dina Abu Baker. Photos from Gaza show the couple’s daughter, 10-year-old Dima Yassin, mourning her parents.

The war is still going on, assassinations are continuing, and the shelling ‌has ⁠not stopped,” Mahmound Yassin, brother of Akram, told Reuters . In Khan Younis, southern Gaza, a 17-year-old boy was shot and killed by Israeli forces in the Qizan al-Najar neighborhood. Later in the day, WAFA reported that another Palestinian was killed by Israeli shelling in northern Gaza, bringing the day’s death toll to at least four. Tuesday’s attacks came a day after the World Food Program announced it was “drastically reducing” aid to Gaza , cutting off a vital supply of food for 500,000 Palestinians.

Israel has said that it will resume allowing the shipment of commercial goods into Gaza after cutting them off last week, but it remains unclear if the shipments have actually restarted or if they will come close to previous levels. Gaza’s Health Ministry didn’t release a death toll update on Tuesday but said on Monday that since the so-called ceasefire deal was signed in October 2025, the IDF has killed at least 1,522 Palestinians and wounded 5,421.

The US continues backing Israel’s attacks despite President Trump announcing in July that Hamas had agreed to a US-proposed disarmament deal, which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected. If you liked this article, please support Antiwar.com. We are 100% reader-supported.
