Israel has killed one Palestinian and wounded several others in its air strike on Gaza City, while the Israeli army continued demolishing buildings and shelling areas across the enclave in the latest reported violations of the ceasefire in force since October 2025.
The developments came hours after the Palestinian presidency warned that Israel's "daily killing policy" in Gaza, along with illegal settler attacks in the occupied West Bank, could lead to an "uncontrollable explosion" of the situation.
A medical source told Anadolu Agency that the body of Mohammad Najib Ashour and several wounded were taken to Al-Shifa Hospital and Al-Ahli Arab Hospital after an Israeli drone strike targeted a young man riding a bicycle near the Asqula junction in the Zeitoun neighbourhood, southeast of Gaza City.
Ambulance crews also recovered the bodies of two Palestinians killed by Israeli forces near military deployment areas in Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, according to medical sources.
Local sources identified them as Bilal Hussein Abu Rabia and Hamza Imad Hamdouna, who had gone missing days earlier, before their bodies were recovered on Saturday.
Gaza's Health Ministry said seven Palestinians were killed and nine more bodies were recovered over the past 48 hours, while 16 others were wounded.
Meanwhile, Israeli artillery shelled the Al-Salatin area west of Beit Lahia, accompanied by heavy gunfire from military vehicles.
Demolitions expand control lines
Earlier on Saturday, the Israeli army demolished Palestinian-owned buildings and facilities in areas under its control east of Bani Suheila near Khan Younis, triggering a large explosion but causing no reported casualties, according to Anadolu agency correspondents citing eyewitnesses.
Since the ceasefire took effect on 10 October 2025, Israeli forces have continued carrying out airstrikes, shootings and demolitions across Gaza.
Israel has expanded its occupation to around 70 percent of Gaza's territory, confining Palestinians to less than 30 percent of the enclave, according to local estimates.
The Israeli genocide in Gaza, launched on 8 October 2023, has devastated nearly 90 percent of the enclave's civilian infrastructure and killed more than 73,000 Palestinians.
