Eight Palestinian civilians killed in Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip
At least seven Palestinian civilians were killed and many others injured on Saturday as Israeli occupation forces launched a new wave of airstrikes and drone attacks across the Gaza Strip, targeting residential neighborhoods, displacement areas, and civilian infrastructure amid their ongoing assault on the besieged enclave.
According to local media reports, two Palestinians were martyred and several others wounded when an Israeli warplane bombed the roof of a residential building in the industrial area of Tel al-Hawa, southwest of Gaza City.
In a separate attack, another civilian was martyred and several others were injured after Israeli aircraft struck the al-Sabra neighborhood in Gaza City.
Further south, an Israeli airstrike killed another Palestinian in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Yunis, despite the area being densely populated with displaced families who had sought refuge there following repeated Israeli evacuation orders.
Earlier in the day, an Israeli drone targeted the northern outskirts of Asdaa City in the al-Mawasi area of al-Qarara, north of Khan Yunis, killing one civilian and wounding several others.
Another deadly strike hit the vicinity of al-Ghazali Junction in Gaza City's Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, where two Palestinians were martyred and several others sustained injuries, some of them critical.
Meanwhile, a young Palestinian succumbed to wounds sustained in an earlier Israeli attack on Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, bringing the day's death toll even higher. His death underscores the mounting toll of victims who continue to die from injuries amid the collapse of Gaza's overwhelmed healthcare system.
Israeli bombardment continued throughout central Gaza, where several civilians were wounded after occupation forces struck a house on al-Baraka Street in Deir al-Balah.
Another airstrike targeted farmland west of Shuhada al-Aqsa Hospital, destroying a livestock barn and damaging a nearby camp sheltering displaced families. The attack further exacerbated the suffering of Palestinians already enduring dire shortages of food, clean water, shelter, and medical supplies.
In Gaza City's al-Saftawi area, Israeli warplanes bombed a home belonging to the Abu Amra family, injuring several civilians. Elsewhere in the al-Sabra neighborhood, an Israeli drone struck an electric bicycle near al-Istijaba Mosque, leaving one civilian critically wounded.
In southern Gaza, another Palestinian was injured after Israeli occupation forces opened fire in the al-Mawasi area of Rafah.
Throughout the day, residents reported relentless Israeli military operations across the Strip, including heavy artillery shelling, aerial bombardments, gunfire, and the demolition of homes and civilian property, further worsening the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Gaza.
In a separate incident, four Israeli suicide quadcopters exploded near the az-Zeitoun Sports Club in eastern Gaza City. No casualties were reported.
The latest attacks come as Israel continues its devastating military campaign against the Gaza Strip, leaving widespread destruction and mass displacement in its wake. According to Palestinian health authorities, tens of thousands of Palestinians—most of them women and children—have been killed since the offensive began. International humanitarian organizations and human rights groups have repeatedly warned that Israel's attacks on civilian areas may constitute serious violations of international humanitarian law and have renewed calls for an immediate ceasefire, the protection of civilians, and accountability for alleged war crimes.
