Four Palestinians killed in Israeli strike on central Gaza, violating ceasefire

Four Palestinians were killed on Tuesday in an Israeli strike targeting a gathering of civilians in the central Gaza Strip, in another violation of an ongoing ceasefire, medical sources said. The sources told Anadolu that the bodies of four Palestinians, along with several injured people, arrived at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah following the strike east of the Maghazi refugee camp.

Additional attacks

At dawn, a Palestinian woman was injured by Israeli gunfire in Khan Younis in southern Gaza after tents sheltering displaced people in the Al-Maslakh Al-Turki area came under fire, a medical source at Nasser Hospital said. Eyewitnesses also told Anadolu that Israeli naval vessels opened fire toward the coasts of Rafah and Khan Younis, with no immediate reports of casualties.

Ceasefire violations

As of Monday, Israel's ongoing violations of the Oct. 10, 2025 ceasefire have killed 904 Palestinians and wounded 2,713 others, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. The agreement was reached after Israel's two years of war on the Strip that killed over 72,000, injured 172,000 others, and caused widespread destruction affecting 90% of civilian infrastructure.

Regional context

The attacks come as diplomatic efforts continue between the US and Iran to end their conflict, with Secretary of State Rubio saying an agreement could take "a couple days" to finalize. A separate ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon has also been repeatedly violated.
