Israeli forces kill four Palestinians in Gaza, fifth dies of injuries
Medical sources said four Palestinians were killed in separate Israeli attacks on Monday and a fifth died of wounds from a prior strike, raising the death toll amid a U.S.-brokered ceasefire.
Israeli forces killed at least four Palestinians in separate attacks across Gaza on Monday, while a fifth person died of injuries from an earlier strike, according to medical sources and media reports.
Two people were killed in a gun attack and an air raid on southern Khan Younis, and a third died in a drone strike on al-Masdar village. A fourth victim, identified as Hani Hamed Kahil, was killed when a vehicle was hit in the Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood of northern Gaza City, according to the Wafa news agency, which also said five others were wounded.
Wafa reported that Youssef Abu Younis died of injuries sustained in an Israeli strike on a police post in the al-Mawasi area on Sunday, bringing Monday's death count to five. At least five Palestinian police officers were killed in the Sunday strike.
In Gaza City, three Palestinians were wounded when a minibus belonging to a community kitchen was struck in Zeitoun.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health said Israeli attacks have killed at least 1,593 Palestinians and wounded 5,748 since the ceasefire began in October 2025. Overall, the conflict has resulted in at least 74,609 Palestinian deaths and 175,872 injuries.
The latest incidents occurred as efforts continue to provide shelter for displaced residents ahead of winter. Israeli Army Radio reported that Nickolay Mladenov, the high representative of the Board of Peace established by the United States to oversee a peace plan for Gaza, arrived in Israel on Monday to seek permission to bring in tents and to accelerate reconstruction steps.
The United Nations migration agency warned that nearly 2 million people still need shelter assistance and that half of Gaza’s tents and makeshift shelters require replacement as winter approaches.
