New Israeli airstrikes have killed at least nine Palestinians and wounded several others, including children in Gaza despite a ceasefire agreement in place.
A source at the Al-Shifa Hospital said that the casualties occurred after Israeli strikes targeted four residential apartments in Gaza City.
Israeli warplanes and helicopters simultaneously targeted homes in western and northern parts of Gaza City, including in the Shati refugee camp, the Sheikh Rqdwan neighbourhood, the Tel al-Hawa neighbourhood, and the Muhabarat area, sources said.
The deadliest strike hit the fourth floor of the Lebid apartment building in the Muhabarat area, killing five members of the same family, including Hassan Rebah Lebid, his wife Manar, and their three children, Mohammed, Rahaf, and Tamim.
Their nine-year-old daughter Hala was pulled from the rubble with minor injuries.
Two Palestinians were killed in a strike on an apartment in Tel al-Hawa, and at least two others died in strikes on the Muhanna family home in the Shati refugee camp and a residence near Abu Amin junction in Sheikh Ridwan, sources said.
Additionally, Nasser Hospital announced that a woman succumbed to serious injuries sustained during a previous Israeli bombardment on the Mawasi region.
Widespread demolition
The Israeli bombardments coincided with large-scale demolition operations carried out by the occupation forces inside areas under their control in the north and south of the enclave.
In the southern city of Khan Younis, the Israeli army carried out at least 10 demolitions of buildings and facilities east of the city, alongside two demolitions in the eastern neighbourhoods of Gaza City, according to eyewitnesses.
On 8 October 2023, Israel began a two-year genocide on Gaza, leaving around 73,000 Palestinians dead and nearly 173,000 injured, mostly women and children, whilst destroying 90 percent of the infrastructure.
Despite the ceasefire agreement declared on 10 October 2025, Israel continues its operations by restricting the entry of humanitarian aid and conducting daily bombardments, which have killed 936 Palestinians and injured 2,903 others, mostly women and children.
