Two Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire in Gaza in the last 24 hours, raising the death toll from Israel’s war on the enclave since October 2023 to 72,612, the Health Ministry said on Monday.
The ministry did not give details about the new fatalities, but a medical source told Anadolu that a 44-year-old man was killed by Israeli fire in the Atatra area west of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza early on Monday.
Local sources said the Atatra area lies outside the zones of Israeli military deployment and control under the terms of the ceasefire agreement.
No details were yet available about the second fatality.
The ministry said nine people were also injured by Israeli fire over the past day, bringing the total injuries since October 2023 to 172,457 people.
Witnesses said Israeli artillery also shelled eastern neighbourhoods of Gaza City at dawn, while Israeli naval forces targeted the coasts of Rafah and Khan Younis in the south with gunfire and shells. No casualties were reported.
At least 830 Palestinians have been killed and 2,345 others injured in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire on October 10, 2025, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
The ceasefire agreement was reached after two years of Israeli genocidal war that began on October 8, 2023, leaving more than 72,000 Palestinians dead and over 172,000 injured, along with widespread destruction affecting about 90% of civilian infrastructure.
