Three Palestinians were killed and several others injured Tuesday by Israeli army fire in the Gaza Strip amid continued violations of a ceasefire in the enclave, according to medical sources.
A man lost his life, and another was injured in a drone strike targeting pedestrians near the Municipal Park on Omar Al-Mukhtar Street in central Gaza City, the sources said.
A 34-year-old man also breathed his last from wounds he sustained in an Israeli strike targeting civilians near the Taiba Towers in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, on Monday, they added.
The sources said a third Palestinian was killed and others were injured in an Israeli strike targeting civilians on Aidiya Street west of Gaza City.
A displaced Palestinian was shot inside his tent in the Mawasi area of Rafah when Israeli military vehicles opened fire toward tents sheltering displaced people, according to the sources.
In central Gaza, a girl sustained moderate injuries when Israeli forces opened fire toward homes east of the Bureij refugee camp.
A medical source at Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital later reported receiving three wounded patients, including a child with serious injuries, following an Israeli airstrike on the Shuhada al-Zeitoun School, which shelters displaced people in the Zeitoun neighborhood of southeastern Gaza City.
Mahmoud Basal, spokesman for Gaza’s Civil Defense, told Anadolu that an Israeli drone strike targeted a corridor inside one of the school’s facilities, wounding three displaced people.
The school is near Salah al-Din Street in eastern Gaza City, about 200 meters (656 feet) from areas where Israeli forces are deployed, according to sources.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army carried out two demolition operations inside areas under its control east of Gaza City, destroying evacuated Palestinian homes and buildings, witnesses said.
According to an Anadolu reporter, one explosion occurred east of the Shujaiya neighborhood and the other east of Al-Tuffah.
Israeli warships also opened machine-gun fire toward fishing boats off the Gaza City coast. No injuries were reported.
The Israeli army has killed at least 1,460 Palestinians and injured 5,116 others since the Oct. 10, 2025 ceasefire, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
Since October 2023, Israel's genocidal war in Gaza has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians and injured over 175,000 others, according to Palestinian figures, also destroying about 90% of the enclave's infrastructure.
