Eight Palestinians, including a woman, were killed and several others injured Wednesday in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip, amid continuing Israeli violations of the ceasefire.

Among those killed was Mohammad Abdul-Aziz an-Najjar, a journalist with the Holy Quran Radio and a resident of Khuza’a. An Israeli drone struck him in the al-Mawasi area of al-Qarara, north of Khan Younis.

Another Palestinian was killed and a child injured in an Israeli strike on Salahuddin Street in al-Qarara, north of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

Local sources reported that an Israeli airstrike targeted a vehicle near the Council of Ministers building in the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood, southwest of Gaza City, killing at least five Palestinians and wounding thirteen others.

Medical sources said Eman Abdul-Aal was killed, and others were injured, when Israeli warplanes targeted an apartment near al-Shifa Hospital, west of Gaza City.

Israeli soldiers also shot and injured three Palestinians in the Abu al-Ajeen area, southeast of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza.

Two Palestinians were injured when an Israeli drone bombed the vicinity of the Dream Palace Hall, west of Khan Younis.

Israeli warplanes launched airstrikes on the Tuffah and Shuja’iyya neighborhoods, east of Gaza City, and targeted residential buildings on Baghdad Street, destroying the Daher and Mushtaha buildings in Shuja’iyya. Three Palestinians, including a woman, were injured by shrapnel from Israeli shelling in Shuja’iyya.

Israeli quadcopter drones dropped sound bombs near the Shuja’iyya junction as the army subjected the area to intense artillery fire. Israeli forces also fired illumination flares northwest of Gaza City, while artillery shells struck the city’s eastern areas.

The Health Ministry said Israeli attacks have killed at least 1,431 Palestinians and injured more than 5,026 others since the “ceasefire” took effect on October 11, 2025, while the bodies of 834 slain Palestinians have been recovered.

The cumulative toll in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, is at least 74,032 Palestinians killed and more than 175,142 injured.

The Health Ministry said many victims remain under the rubble, beyond the reach of rescue crews amid ongoing attacks, equipment shortages, Israel’s siege, and restrictions on essential supplies.
