Six Palestinians were killed in the Gaza Strip, Monday, three of them were killed and dozens were wounded when an Israeli drone fired a missile at a civilian vehicle in the al‑Mawasi area west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, and one in an Israeli strike in Gaza City.
The attacks came amid continued Israeli airstrikes across multiple parts of the Gaza Strip, striking densely populated areas and causing additional casualties.
Medical sources said the Israeli drone strike that targeted the Palestinian vehicle in in al-Mawasi in Khan Younis killed three Palestinians instantly and left many others with severe and critical injuries.
Medical teams reported that the wounded from the al‑Mawasi strike were initially transported to the British Field Hospital before several critical cases were transferred to other facilities due to the high number of injuries.
Journalists on the ground confirmed that children and women were among the most severely affected, with emergency crews at al‑Saraya Hospital of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society and the Shifa Medical Complex treating multiple trauma cases.
In Gaza City, an Israeli airstrike targeted a civilian vehicle on al‑Jala’ Street, one of the city’s busiest thoroughfares, killing one Palestinian and causing fourteen injuries, including children.
The slain Palestinian has been identified as Mahmoud Saleh. The vehicle was completely engulfed in flames, and several civilians were injured.
Ambulances rushed to the scene despite heavy congestion and the presence of large numbers of displaced families living in roadside tents.
Witnesses described a powerful explosion at one of the intersections, triggering panic among residents and leaving injured civilians scattered around the burning vehicle.
The area includes a distribution center operated by the World Food Programme and is frequented by displaced families seeking aid.
Journalists in Gaza City reported that the attack on al‑Jala’ Street is part of a pattern of intensified Israeli strikes since the announcement of the ceasefire, with bombardments hitting crowded civilian zones far from any front lines.
The street serves as a main artery linking central Gaza City with the northern districts and remains heavily populated with displaced families, commercial vendors, and continuous traffic, contributing to the high casualty toll whenever it is struck.
Medical teams continue to treat dozens of wounded across Gaza’s hospitals, many of whom are in critical condition. Facilities are operating under severe shortages of equipment, medicine, and fuel, further complicating emergency care.
Medical sources reported that a Palestinian man was killed on Monday evening when an Israeli drone fired a missile at an electric bicycle in the central Gaza Strip.
Staff at the al‑Aqsa Hospital in Deir al‑Balah confirmed that the victim arrived without vital signs after the drone strike hit the bicycle on Salahuddin Street, opposite the al‑Zawaida area in central Gaza.
Furthermore, an Israeli airstrike on a civilian vehicle injured fourteen people, three of whom were reported in critical condition.
In southern Gaza, four more civilians were wounded when an Israeli drone detonated near the al‑Mawasi area of Rafah in Gaza’s southernmost area.
Local medical sources also confirmed injuries from an Israeli strike near the al-Yemen al‑Sa’eed Hospital in northern Gaza.
These incidents form part of a continuing pattern of Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip. Many violations remain unreported or inaccessible due to destroyed roads, communication disruptions, and the ongoing presence of drones and warplanes, making comprehensive documentation increasingly difficult.
Hospitals across the Strip received six new fatalities twenty injures, some seriously, Monday. The figures only include those who have been officially admitted to hospitals and medical centers.
Since the “ceasefire” declared on October 11, 2025, the cumulative toll has risen to 1,158 Palestinians killed and 3,756 wounded, with 802 bodies recovered from destroyed areas.
The overall death toll since the beginning of the genocide in Gaza on October 7, 2023, has reached 73,283, with 173,864 documented injuries.
The Health Ministry noted that many victims remain trapped under rubble or in unreachable areas due to ongoing bombardment and the inability of ambulance and civil defense crews to safely access strike locations.
