Israeli warplanes and ground forces killed four Palestinians, including a child, on Saturday in separate attacks across the Gaza Strip, as medical authorities reported rising casualties and warned that many victims remain trapped under the rubble due to the continued bombardment.
Three Palestinians, including a child, were killed and several others injured when an Israeli drone fired a missile near the Dahyan School in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood north of Gaza City.
Medical teams at the Shifa Hospital in western Gaza City confirmed that the bodies of the three victims, along with multiple wounded residents, were transferred to the facility following the strike.
In a separate incident, Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian man in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.
Local reporters said Bahjat Abu Al‑Eish was struck in the head by Israeli gunfire in the Al‑Hawja area of the camp and succumbed to his wounds shortly afterward.
Gaza’s medical authorities reported that hospitals received the bodies of seventeen Palestinians and thirty‑two wounded residents over the past forty‑eight hours.

They noted that the real toll is likely higher, as many victims remain under collapsed buildings or in the streets, with ambulance and civil defense crews unable to reach them due to ongoing Israeli attacks and destroyed roads.
Since the declared “ceasefire” on October 11, 2025, hospitals in the Gaza Strip have documented 809 Palestinians killed, 2,267 injured, and 761 bodies recovered from destroyed areas.
The cumulative toll since the beginning of the Israeli assault on October 7, 2023, has risen to 72,585 Palestinians killed and 172,370 injured, according to Gaza’s health authorities, who continue to warn that thousands remain missing beneath the rubble.
