Gaza city: An Israeli drone strike killed two Palestinians and wounded two others on Saturday morning in the Al-Atatra area of Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza despite a ceasefire reached nearly two months ago, medical sources told Anadolu. Staff at the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City received the bodies of the two men and two injured Palestinians after the strike, which medical sources said was carried out by an Israeli quadcopter drone.

According to Anadolu Agency, in a separate incident, Gaza's Civil Defense Directorate reported that an Israeli strike on Friday evening killed one of its members, Suhail Abdullah Dahman, and critically wounded his son as they were heading to inspect their home in the Beit Lahiya housing project, an area outside Israeli military control. The directorate noted that Dahman's death raised the number of Civil Defense personnel killed since October 2023 to 142.

Earlier on Saturday, the Israeli military launched a series of heavy airstrikes and conducted demolitions in several areas under its control across the Gaza Strip. These actions marked new violations of the ceasefire agreement that entered its first phase on October 10. The Israeli army maintains control over the southern and eastern corridors of the Gaza Strip, along with large parts of the north, covering more than 50% of the enclave.

Israel continues to violate the ceasefire it signed with Hamas, having committed hundreds of violations and killed 366 Palestinians as of Thursday, according to official Gaza sources. Since October 2023, Israeli attacks in Gaza have resulted in the deaths of more than 70,000 people, predominantly women and children, and injured nearly 171,000 others.
