- Israeli forces struck a motorcycle in Gaza City's Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood on Friday, killing one Palestinian and critically injuring a child, according to the Wafa news agency.
- Israeli army troops also opened fire in the Nuseirat and al-Bureij refugee camps in central Gaza, hitting tents sheltering displaced people and causing multiple injuries.
- At least 1,381 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli strikes since the October 2025 ceasefire was announced, according to Wafa.
- Israel has killed at least 73,795 people and wounded 174,869 since the start of the war in October 2023.
- A double-tap air strike earlier this week killed a paramedic and a 15-year-old schoolboy in Gaza City; the Israeli military claimed it was targeting Hamas operatives.
- On Wednesday, a previously damaged building in Gaza City collapsed, killing at least 21 people including 12 children, as Palestinian Civil Defence struggled to recover bodies due to Israeli restrictions on heavy equipment.
- UNICEF found that on average one child is killed per day by Israel, while Gaza's Health Ministry warned the territory's health system faces "total collapse" under continued Israeli limits on medical aid and fuel.
Why it matters: Israeli strikes continue to kill civilians at scale — 1,381 since the October 2025 ceasefire — while simultaneous restrictions on medical aid and heavy equipment are pushing Gaza's health system toward total collapse, as documented by UNICEF and the Health Ministry.
