Gaza’s civil defence and health officials said Israeli attacks killed nine people in the Palestinian territory yesterday.

Mahmoud Bassal, spokesman for the civil defence agency, which acts as a rescue force under Hamas, said that the nine people were killed in Israeli attacks, including airstrikes and gunfire.

Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza’s Khan Yunis reported receiving four people killed in an airstrike on a tent sheltering displaced people.

The victims were aged between 10 and 39, and included one woman, the hospital said.

The hospital also received the body of Ahmad Salim, a truck driver who was killed by Israeli fire in Al-Mawasi, in southern Gaza.

Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City said it received the bodies of two people: a child killed by Israeli fire east of the city and one killed in an airstrike west of the city.

Israel’s military said it was “not aware” of an airstrike in the area west of the city.

Al-Shifa Hospital also said it had received the bodies of two people killed in an Israeli airstrike on a vehicle in Gaza City. Israel’s military confirmed to AFP that it conducted an airstrike there.

US President Donald Trump played a big part in brokering a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas that led to a fragile truce in October 2025.

At least 1,084 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect in October last year, according to the territory’s health ministry.
