Israeli drone strike kills 2 Palestinians in displacement tent in central Gaza

Two Palestinians were killed and several others injured early Monday in an Israeli drone strike targeting a displacement tent in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, in the latest violation of the Oct. 10, 2025 ceasefire, medical sources said.

Sources at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital told Anadolu that the tent, located near the hospital, was sheltering displaced Palestinians when it was hit.

The victims were identified as Mohammed Nasser Abu Assad and Ibrahim Nasser Abu Assad.

Israeli warplanes also carried out two strikes near the hospital, while artillery shelling targeted an area south of the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza.

Hours earlier on Sunday, Israeli attacks across central and southern Gaza killed two Palestinians, including a child, and injured 14 others.

A medical source at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital told Anadolu that the two fatalities and seven of the injuries resulted from an Israeli strike on the town of Az-Zawayda in central Gaza shortly after the army issued an evacuation warning.

Israeli forces have carried out daily violations of the ceasefire in place since Oct. 10 which have killed 1,286 people and wounded 4,257, according to Palestine Health Ministry data.

Israel launched a war on Gaza in October 2023, killing more than 73,000 Palestinians, wounding over 174,000 and devastating about 90% of the enclave's civilian infrastructure.
