At least two Palestinians, including a child, have been killed and 14 others wounded in Israeli attacks in central and southern Gaza, marking another violation of a ceasefire deal in force since October 10, 2025.

A medical source at al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital told Anadolu on Sunday that the two victims were killed and seven others wounded when Israeli forces struck areas in the town of Az-Zawayda.

A warplane struck a site in the town.

Civil defence crews rushed to the area to extinguish a fire caused by the attack.

Israel’s brutal war

In southern Gaza, seven Palestinians were wounded in an Israeli air strike targeting a gathering of civilians near Al Albani Mosque, west of Khan Younis, a medical source at Nasser Medical Complex said.

Israeli warships also fired shells towards the Rafah coastline, while military vehicles opened heavy fire on Palestinian homes in Hamad City, northwest of Khan Younis. No casualties were reported.

In Gaza City, Israeli warships fired bullets and shells towards fishing boats and the coastline, witnesses told Anadolu. No injuries were reported.

The attacks came despite US President Donald Trump’s call for an end to Israeli strikes on Gaza.

The Israeli army has killed more than 73,000 Palestinians and wounded over 174,000 others in a brutal offensive since October 2023.
