3 police members among 5 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza amid ceasefire violations

Three police members were among five Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip on Friday, amid continued Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement in the enclave.

A medical source at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital told Anadolu Agency that the bodies of three Palestinians and two injured people were brought to the hospital following an Israeli drone strike targeting a civilian vehicle at the entrance to Al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza.

An Israeli drone fired at least two missiles at the vehicle, causing it to catch fire and resulting in deaths and injuries, eyewitnesses told Anadolu Agency.

A Palestinian, identified as Oday Younis, 35, was killed in an Israeli drone strike in Beit Lahia, and his body was taken to Al-Shifa Hospital, a medical source told Anadolu Agency.

Local sources told Anadolu Agency that Younis was killed while collecting firewood in an area near Israeli military positions in Beit Lahia.

Earlier Friday, Walid Haniyeh, 32, died of critical injuries sustained on Thursday in a separate Israeli drone strike in the Al-Nasr neighborhood west of Gaza City.

In southern Gaza, a young man sustained moderate injuries after Israeli forces opened fire in the Nemsawi neighborhood west of Khan Younis, a medical source said.

Witnesses told Anadolu Agency that Israeli military vehicles opened heavy machine-gun fire toward Palestinian homes in residential neighborhoods south and west of the city.

The ceasefire agreement has been in effect in Gaza since Oct. 10, 2025, though violations have continued to be reported across the enclave.

According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement had killed 1,031 Palestinians and injured 3,309 others as of Thursday.
