Seven Palestinians have been injured in an Israeli strike targeting a residential building in central Gaza City without prior warning, according to medical sources.
The injuries ranged from moderate to serious, with the wounded transferred to several hospitals across the city, the sources said.
Witnesses said an Israeli helicopter struck commercial warehouses located beneath the Haraz building near Yarmouk Stadium in central Gaza City early Friday, causing the injuries.
In a separate statement, Gaza’s Civil Defence Directorate said its crew extinguished a fire that broke out at the site following the strike and evacuated a number of injured people.
Ongoing ceasefire violations
In a separate incident, local sources said Israeli naval forces opened machine-gun fire and shelled fishing boats and the coastline of Gaza City.
Israeli artillery also shelled eastern areas of the Al-Tuffah neighbourhood in eastern Gaza City, accompanied by gunfire from military vehicles, though no casualties were immediately reported.
According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, 922 Palestinians have been killed and 2,786 injured in Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement that took effect on October 10, 2025.
Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza, launched on October 8, 2023, has killed more than 72,000 Palestinians and injured over 172,000 others, according to Palestinian authorities.
