Israeli strikes kill at least four Palestinians in northern Gaza as attacks continue

Israeli attacks in northern Gaza killed at least four Palestinians and wounded others on Thursday, according to medical and local reporting cited in the supplied material. The violence was reported around Jabalia refugee camp and Beit Lahiya, including strikes near shelters, tents and a hospital. The incident adds to a continuing pattern of military activity in the enclave despite the ceasefire framework referenced in the source material.

A medical source at al-Shifa Hospital said at least four Palestinians were killed in gunfire outside areas where Israeli forces were deployed north of Gaza. The official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that Israeli forces opened fire from military vehicles and a drone at shelters and tents housing displaced people in Jabalia. Wafa also said Israeli helicopters fired overnight near the camp, while artillery struck areas across northern Gaza.

The same reporting said Israeli warplanes carried out an air attack near Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya overnight. Sources cited by the report said a Palestinian man, his wife and their two daughters were killed in that raid. The material also says the Israeli military has continued to attack Gaza frequently despite a United States-backed ceasefire in effect since October 2025.

The strikes matter because they hit areas where displaced civilians are sheltering and because they involve sites linked to medical care and emergency access. Jabalia and Beit Lahiya are both in northern Gaza, an area that has seen repeated military activity throughout the war. The reported firing near tents and shelters also raises concern about the safety of people who have already been displaced multiple times.

The supplied material places the latest deaths within a wider conflict that has continued well beyond the ceasefire announcement. It says the war in Gaza has killed 73,669 people since 7 October 2023, mostly women and children, and that injuries have reached 174,652, according to local authorities. The same material also notes claims by Palestinian rights advocates that the aim of the campaign is to push Palestinians out of Gaza, an allegation echoed by comments from some far-right Israeli officials.

What remains unclear is the full scale of the damage in Jabalia and Beit Lahiya, whether there were additional casualties, and whether the reported strikes near Kamal Adwan Hospital caused further harm. The supplied material does not include a substantive public response from the Israeli military to the latest reports. Further statements from medical sources, local authorities and the military are likely to clarify the circumstances and the number of people affected.

An Israeli strike hit a house in the Beit Lahia Project area of northern Gaza after midnight, killing a family of four, according to Palestinian hospital and security sources. The dead included two children, aged 12 and eight, an official at Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City said. The incident was reported on 10 September and is the latest in continuing violence in the enclave.

The hospital official said the bodies of four members of the Ahmad family were recovered in pieces after the strike. A Palestinian security source said Israeli warplanes also struck separately in the heart of the Jabalia refugee camp. The same source said Israeli forces were firing on tents sheltering displaced people and on ambulances.

The Israeli military said it was checking the reports. The attack adds to a period of sustained violence in Gaza after a ceasefire brokered by the United States in October last year. Since that ceasefire was announced, Israeli attacks have killed more than 1,300 people, according to the Gaza health ministry, whose figures are considered generally reliable by the United Nations.

Over the same period, the Israeli army has identified five deaths in its ranks, as well as the death of one civilian contractor. The strike matters because it comes amid an ongoing campaign by Israel against Hamas-linked targets and a wider conflict that has continued despite the ceasefire announcement. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said there should be no let-up in strikes targeting Hamas, which led the 7 October 2023 attack against Israel.

He has also said Israel should not withdraw from Gaza until Hamas gives up its weapons. Beit Lahia and Jabalia are both in northern Gaza, an area that has seen repeated military activity during the war. The reported firing on tents for displaced people and ambulances also raises concern about the impact on civilians and emergency access.

The account from Gaza officials has not yet been independently verified in the material provided, and the Israeli military has not yet given a substantive public response beyond saying it was checking the reports. What remains unclear is the full scale of the damage at the house, whether there were additional casualties, and whether the separate reported strikes in Jabalia caused further deaths or injuries. It is also not clear what target, if any, was being pursued in the Beit Lahia strike.

Further official statements from the Israeli military and Gaza health authorities are likely to clarify the circumstances.
