Israeli air strike hits central Gaza near Maghazi camp
A strike near Salah al-Din Street killed one person and injured two, continuing a pattern of aerial attacks in the region.
An Israeli air strike near the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza killed at least one person and injured two others on Sunday morning. The attack occurred near Salah al-Din Street, according to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa.
The incident follows a drone attack in the central city of Deir el-Balah on the previous day. That strike targeted the al-Hasanat family, killing one person and wounding several others, as reported by Al Jazeera correspondent Ashraf Abu Amra.
The latest strike highlights ongoing tensions in the territory. At least 1,286 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip since the so-called “ceasefire” agreement took effect in October, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health.
The use of quotation marks around the term “ceasefire” reflects ambiguity regarding the status and recognition of the agreement. The continued loss of life suggests that the institutional framework of the truce remains under strain.
Since the broader conflict began in October 2023, more than 73,400 Palestinians have been killed in the territory. The cumulative toll underscores the scale of the humanitarian crisis, even as specific incidents continue to be reported.
Casualty figures are currently based on reports from Palestinian media and official agencies. Independent verification of the specific Sunday strike remains pending, a common challenge in the region’s ongoing reporting environment.
