GAZA CITY, Palestine/ISTANBUL (AA) - Three Palestinians, including a girl, were killed and several others injured Thursday in Israeli strikes and gunfire across the Gaza Strip amid continued violations of the ceasefire agreement.

Medical sources told Anadolu that one Palestinian was killed and others injured, one seriously, when an Israeli drone struck a civilian vehicle in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood southwest of Gaza City.

In the northern Gaza Strip, Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian girl in the head in Jabalia, a medical source told Anadolu.

In southern Gaza, another Palestinian was killed and two others injured when an Israeli drone struck a motorcycle in Khan Younis, according to a medical source.

Four members of a displaced family were also injured when Israeli artillery fire hit a school sheltering displaced Palestinians in the city.

A medical source at Nasser Hospital said a man, his wife, and their two children arrived with varying injuries after the shelling targeted Mustafa Hafez School.

An Israeli artillery shell struck a tent sheltering the displaced family in the school courtyard, according to local sources.

Israeli military vehicles also opened heavy fire toward homes and tents sheltering displaced people east of Hamad City in Khan Younis, witnesses said.

In Gaza City, the Israeli army struck two evacuated homes in separate attacks early Thursday.

An Israeli helicopter struck an empty apartment in the Rimal neighborhood, while a drone targeted an evacuated house previously damaged by Israeli bombardment in the Nasr neighborhood, according to witnesses.

Meanwhile, the Israeli army continued blowing up residential buildings in the Tuffah and Shujaiya neighborhoods in eastern Gaza City.

Local residents said two powerful explosions from demolition operations were heard overnight and early Thursday.

Israeli artillery also shelled the area around the Al-Sanafour junction east of Tuffah amid heavy gunfire from military vehicles deployed nearby.

The attacks came amid daily Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement in effect since Oct. 10, 2025, which had killed 1,538 Palestinians and injured 5,498 others as of Wednesday.

Since October 2023, Israel has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians and injured over 175,000 others in Gaza, while around 90% of the enclave’s civilian infrastructure has been destroyed.
