SAFA – Seven Palestinians were killed and dozens of others injured in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip on Thursday, including six people killed in a strike on Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, as Israeli forces continued operations reported as violations of the ceasefire agreement.

Israeli forces also opened fire near residential areas, shelled locations in southern Gaza, fired toward tents sheltering displaced families, and detained six Palestinian fishermen off the coast of Deir al-Balah.

A Palestinian was killed and a child wounded by Israeli gunfire east of Al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza early Thursday.

Several other Palestinians were injured near Hamad City, north of Khan Younis, and in the Bir 19 area of Al-Mawasi, south of the city.

Israeli military vehicles opened heavy fire north of Al-Bureij, while artillery shelling struck eastern and southern areas of Khan Younis.

In southern Gaza, Israeli tanks also fired toward tents housing displaced Palestinian families in Al-Mawasi, near Rafah and Khan Younis, putting already vulnerable communities at further risk.

Meanwhile, Israeli naval forces detained six Palestinian fishermen while they were working off the coast of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza.

The detentions added to the difficulties facing Gaza's fishing communities, whose livelihoods have been severely disrupted by Israeli military restrictions and the continuing blockade.

Six Palestinians Killed in Israeli Strike on Nasser Hospital

The attacks followed an Israeli strike on the Al-Yassin Building inside Nasser Medical Complex, west of Khan Younis, which killed six Palestinians and injured more than 20 others.

Gaza Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal said rescue teams recovered the bodies of six victims and evacuated more than 20 wounded people from the hospital.

The six Palestinians killed were identified as:

• Jihad Naim Abu Tilkh

• Dr. Rizq Abu Shaira

• Murad Abu Zarifa

• Saif Ghazi Abu Hatab

• Khaled Suleiman Abu Anza

• Mohammed Nafiz Abu Odeh

The strike caused extensive damage to the building's second floor, affecting the recovery unit, men's and women's surgical departments, and internal medicine wards.

The bombardment also sparked panic among patients, medical staff, and families inside the hospital, further disrupting medical services at one of Gaza's most important healthcare facilities.

The attack came as Gaza's healthcare system continued to struggle with damaged infrastructure, shortages of essential medical supplies, and the overwhelming needs of wounded and critically ill patients.

Ceasefire Violations Continue as Gaza's Humanitarian Crisis Deepens

The latest incidents have renewed concerns over the protection of Palestinian civilians under the ceasefire agreement, which took effect on October 10, 2025.

Despite the agreement, Israeli military operations, gunfire, and shelling have continued to be reported across Gaza, including in areas where displaced families are sheltering.

According to the reported casualty figures, more than 1,622 Palestinians have been killed and 5,878 injured in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire began.

Rescue teams have also recovered the bodies of 850 Palestinians from areas that were previously inaccessible.

The continued violence has compounded Gaza's humanitarian emergency, with displaced families facing deteriorating living conditions, limited access to essential supplies, and ongoing threats to their safety.

Thursday's attacks, including the deadly strike on Nasser Medical Complex, underscore the continuing risks facing Palestinian civilians, patients, healthcare workers, and fishermen despite the ceasefire agreement.
