An Israeli drone strike hit the Deir al-Balah area of Gaza on Monday morning. Three people were killed in the strike, amongst them an 8-year-old child, while a number of others were injured in the strike.
According to Palestinian outlet WAFA the drone targeted the area near Wadi al-Salqa bridge on al-Baraka Street, killing three people: Ali Fayez Isbaitan, Hassan Salman al-Hanajra, and 8-year-old child Malik Wael Abu Shaweesh, and injuring others.
The strike comes amid an Israeli push to take 70% of the Gaza Strip, taking more territory than that outlined in the already one-sided ceasefire agreement was signed in October of 2025. Israeli strikes have broken the ceasefire on almost every day the ceasefire was said to be in place.
This latest strike brings the total number of Palestinians killed since the ceasefire on 11 October last year to 1,048, while injuries have exceeded 3,372, in addition to 786 bodies recovered.
