Eight Palestinians, including a 9-year-old girl, were killed, while others were injured on Sunday in an Israeli strike on the Gaza Strip.
Eyewitnesses and medical sources said that injured people and the remains of four people killed were transferred to the Al-Quds Hospital after a strike targeted a building in the Sabra neighbourhood south of Gaza City.
Following the strike, residents received phone calls from the Israeli army ordering them to evacuate the area because further attacks would take places.
Local eyewitnesses added that Israeli warplanes carried out additional airstrikes on the area after the warnings. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said these attacks injured two Palestinians and sparked a fire.
Medical sources said that Israeli fire targeted a camp on the eastern side of the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, killing 9-year-old girl Tala Abu Matar.
Later, a New Arab correspondent reported that another person was killed in an Israeli drone strike on a tent sheltering displaced people west of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.
In a related development, a medical source at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah told the Anadolu news agency that a man died from wounds he sustained after being shot by the Israeli army on Friday east of the Bureij refugee camp.
A source at Nasser Medical Complex also reported that another man died from injuries he suffered on Saturday in an Israeli drone strike near the Bani Suheila roundabout east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.
Over 73,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, which began in October 2023, while more than 173,000 others have been injured. Around 90% of civilian infrastructure has been destroyed.
Israel has continued to carry out deadly airstrikes on the territory while subjecting it to a virtual siege despite an October 2025 ceasefire, severely limiting the amount of aid allowed in.
Around 1,092 Palestinians have been killed and another 3,507 injured since the ceasefire began, most of them women and children.
