Israeli attacks killed two Palestinians and wounded several others in the Gaza Strip on Thursday as Israeli forces continued to violate the “ceasefire” agreement across the devastated and besieged coastal enclave, amid continuing violence in the occupied West Bank.
A medical source said Mohammad Nasser Suleiman al-Bayouk was killed, and several other Palestinians were wounded, in an Israeli strike on the Nahr al-Bared area east of the slaughterhouse in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.
The source added that Israeli soldiers shot and wounded a Palestinian north of Hamad City, northwest of Khan Younis.

Furthermore, a Palestinian, Sa’id Barham, died from wounds sustained last year in an Israeli strike south of Khan Younis.
Israeli military vehicles opened fire toward eastern and northeastern Khan Younis, while an Israeli vehicle fired toward fishermen off the coast of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
Separately, two Palestinians were wounded when an Israeli strike hit the roof of Ad-Daraj School, which shelters displaced families in central Gaza City.

Israeli artillery shelled eastern and northeastern Gaza City as illumination flares were fired over the northeastern part of the city. In the central Gaza Strip, artillery fire targeted areas north of the Bureij refugee camp.
On Thursday before dawn, a Palestinian was seriously injured, as a result of an Israeli bombing that targeted the roof of Ad-Daraj School, which houses displaced people in central Gaza City, according to a WAFA news correspondent, who added that the injured person was transferred to Baptist Hospital to receive treatment.
Thursday marked the 343rd consecutive day of reported Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement, including shelling and gunfire across the Gaza Strip.
The continuing violations have included air and artillery attacks near sites sheltering displaced Palestinians, demolitions and destruction within the area known as the Yellow Line, and restrictions on the movement of goods, humanitarian aid, and travelers.
According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, the reported toll since the “ceasefire” took effect on Oct 10, 2025, has risen to 1,386 Palestinians killed and 4,784 wounded, while 831 bodies have been recovered. The ministry said the overall reported toll since October 7, 2023, has reached 73,821 Palestinians killed and 174,879 wounded.
