Israeli attacks in Gaza kill four, including a young girl, amid continued military expansion
Israeli attacks across Gaza killed four Palestinians in the past 24 hours, including a young girl, as the Israeli military continued to expand its control inside the territory. The deaths were reported in northern Gaza near the Jabalia refugee camp, in Gaza City and in Khan Younis. The latest killings come as the post-ceasefire death toll in Gaza continues to rise sharply.

The Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that a young girl was killed by Israeli gunfire near the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza. In Gaza City, a strike on a vehicle in the Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood killed one person and seriously injured another, according to reporting from the city. A separate strike killed a man on a bicycle in Khan Younis in the south.
The Gaza Health Ministry also said a fourth person died on Thursday from wounds sustained earlier in an Israeli strike. The ministry said at least 1,538 Palestinians have been killed and 5,498 injured since the ceasefire took effect in October last year. The reported deaths add to the pressure on Gaza hospitals, which are already dealing with large numbers of casualties.
The territory remains heavily damaged, with close to two million people living in an area described as shrinking and littered with rubble and debris. The latest strikes also underline that violence has continued despite the ceasefire framework. The incidents are taking place against the backdrop of Israeli forces expanding their control inside Gaza.

Reporting from Gaza City said troops have been taking more land since the ceasefire, moving from northern Gaza inward toward the centre and westward. Nearly two-thirds of Gaza is now under Israeli military control or subject to access restrictions, according to maps cited in the reporting. That has left many residents unable to return to their homes, while buildings in controlled areas remain in ruins.
The situation carries humanitarian and political significance because Gaza's civilian population is living amid ongoing displacement, restricted movement and widespread destruction. The reported deaths also highlight how the conflict continues to produce casualties even after the ceasefire date cited by the Gaza Health Ministry. With hospitals still reporting new fatalities and injuries, the scale of the crisis remains severe.
The figures also point to the continuing gap between the ceasefire on paper and conditions on the ground. What remains unclear is whether the latest strikes are part of a broader pattern of operations or isolated incidents. It is also not clear how long the current military expansion inside Gaza will continue or whether access restrictions will change.
