Israel has killed at least 11 Palestinians in Gaza, including three children, in its strikes across the blockaded enclave.

A family of five — three children and their parents — were killed when an Israeli strike hit a residential apartment in northwest Gaza City, according to Gaza's civil defence agency.

"The family's only surviving member is one child, who was not inside the house at the time of the strike," Mahmoud Bassal, spokesman for the agency, said.

Medical sources at Al-Shifa and Al-Ahli Baptist hospitals said they received the bodies of three Palestinians and two wounded people after Israeli artillery shelling near the Dawla roundabout in the Zeitoun neighbourhood, southeast of Gaza City.

Separately, an Israeli warplane carried out an air strike on an apartment in the Nasr neighbourhood in Gaza City, killing five Palestinians, including a female child, and wounded several others, a medical source at Al-Shifa Hospital told Anadolu Agency.

The air strike destroyed the apartment and damaged nearby homes, witnesses said.

Redrawing the yellow line boundary

Meanwhile, dozens of Palestinian families fled the Dawla area south of Zeitoun after the Israeli army issued an ultimatum to flee by calling a local resident, local sources told Anadolu agency.

Families left their tents and the remains of their homes in an area that includes the Abu Marahil and Dar al-Salam displacement camps and nearby areas west of Salah al-Din Street.

In central Gaza, the Israeli army expanded the territory under its occupation east of Deir al-Balah early Saturday.

Local sources and witnesses told Anadolu Agency that Israeli military vehicles, supported by a bulldozer, advanced dozens of metres near the Abu Miri roundabout under heavy gunfire and artillery shelling.

The forces moved concrete blocks marking the so-called "yellow line" approximately 100 metres westward before withdrawing.

By morning, dozens of families living in the area found that the blocks had been placed west of their homes, effectively putting the properties within the zone controlled by the Israeli army.

The yellow line is a security boundary imposed by Israel inside Gaza, with Palestinians barred from approaching areas near it.

The zone encompasses more than 70 percent of the enclave.

Israel continued to violate the ceasefire agreement that has been in effect since 10 October 2025.

According to Gaza's Health Ministry, Israeli ceasefire violations have killed more than 1,144 Palestinians and injured 3,703 others as of Friday.

The ministry says Israel's genocide in Gaza since October 2023 has killed more than 73,000 Palestinians and wounded over 173,000, while causing widespread destruction to about 90 percent of the enclave's civilian infrastructure.
