GAZA CITY, Palestine / ISTANBUL (AA) - Six Palestinians, including two children and a married couple, were killed and eleven injured in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, in the latest violations of an effective ceasefire.

A Palestinian was killed and another injured in an Israeli strike near al-Sawarha cemetery, west of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, medical sources told Anadolu.

One Palestinian was seriously injured in an Israeli drone strike on the al-Qasasib area of the Jabalia refugee camp in the north, according to medical sources.

Another Palestinian was killed in an Israeli strike in the Zeitoun neighborhood southeast of Gaza City, medical sources told Anadolu.

A Palestinian child was also killed by Israeli army fire in the Wadi Gaza area in the central Gaza Strip, the sources said.

A medical source at Al-Shifa Hospital told Anadolu that the bodies of a married couple were brought to the hospital along with four injured Palestinians, including three women, following an Israeli airstrike on a home in western Gaza City.

Witnesses said an Israeli helicopter fired at least one missile at the family home near Al-Shifa Hospital, killing the couple and injuring others.

The strike sparked a fire in the house, which civil defense crews later extinguished, the witnesses added.

In southern Gaza, a Palestinian child was killed by Israeli gunfire in the Qizan Abu Rashwan area south of Khan Younis.

Five other Palestinians, including a woman and two children, were injured by Israeli army fire in Hamad City north of Khan Younis and areas south of the city.

In eastern Gaza City, the Israeli army carried out artillery shelling and opened heavy fire from military vehicles and quadcopter drones toward Palestinian homes and tents sheltering displaced people in the Tuffah neighborhood.

The shelling and gunfire continued throughout the night, while several explosions were heard as the Israeli army demolished homes and civilian structures inside areas under its control, witnesses said.

Israeli warships also fired bullets and shells toward the northern coast of Gaza City, while military vehicles opened heavy fire toward the Sudaniya area in the northwestern Gaza Strip.

Witnesses said Israeli tanks opened heavy fire toward homes and tents sheltering displaced people in several areas of central, southern and northern Khan Younis.

The army also carried out extensive demolitions inside areas under its control east of the city, they added.

Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement had killed 1,522 Palestinians and injured 5,421 others since Oct. 10, 2025, according to the latest figures from Gaza's Health Ministry.

Since October 2023, Israel has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians and injured over 175,000 others during its war on Gaza, while around 90% of the enclave's civilian infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed.
