- Israeli forces struck a medical supply warehouse tent inside Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah, injuring three people; the Israeli military confirmed the hit, claiming without evidence that a Hamas commander was the target.
- Separate Israeli drone and quadcopter strikes killed at least two people elsewhere in Gaza — one in Tal al-Hawa, one in al-Musaddar — and dropped an explosive near Kamal Adwan Hospital in the north.
- Gaza's Health Ministry reported receiving 10 bodies and 18 wounded over the past 48 hours, with additional victims trapped under rubble or on roads that ambulance and civil defence crews cannot reach.
- Since the October ceasefire took effect, the ministry said, 1,313 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli attacks.
- The Palestinian Centre for Missing and Forcibly Disappeared Persons estimated 4,000–5,000 Palestinians remain missing under rubble and 2,500–3,000 may have been forcibly disappeared, based on an analysis of 317 cases — 95.27% male, including 41 children and 17 people aged 60 or older.
- Since the war began in October 2023, more than 73,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza and more than 174,000 injured, most of them women and children.
Why it matters: Israeli strikes continue despite the October ceasefire — which has officially killed 1,313 Palestinians — and now target hospital supply warehouses, directly degrading remaining medical capacity. A forensic study suggests 2,500–3,000 Palestinians may have been forcibly disappeared, meaning the conflict's ultimate death toll and accountability questions remain unresolvable.
