- Israeli forces struck a motorcycle in the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood of Gaza City on Friday, killing one Palestinian and critically injuring a child, per Wafa news agency.
- Israeli army fire hit tents sheltering displaced people in the Nuseirat and al-Bureij refugee camps in central Gaza on the same day, causing multiple injuries.
- Since the October 2025 "ceasefire" was announced, at least 1,381 Palestinians have been killed in ongoing Israeli strikes across the enclave.
- Since October 2023, Israel has killed at least 73,795 people and wounded 174,869 in Gaza, per the article's figures.
- Earlier this week, an Israeli "double-tap" air strike killed a paramedic and a 15-year-old schoolboy in Gaza City; Israel said it was targeting Hamas operatives.
- A previously damaged building collapsed in Gaza City on Wednesday, killing at least 21 people including 12 children, with the Palestinian Civil Defence hampered by Israeli restrictions on heavy equipment.
- Gaza's Health Ministry warned the territory's health system is on the verge of "total collapse" as Israel continues restricting medical aid and fuel, with UNICEF finding an average of one child killed per day.
Why it matters: Since the October 2025 'ceasefire,' at least 1,381 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli strikes while Gaza's Health Ministry warns of imminent 'total collapse' from restricted medical aid and fuel — meaning the ceasefire label masks an active military campaign whose cumulative toll now exceeds 73,795 dead and 174,869 wounded since October 2023.
