Israeli military strikes have killed at least three Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, according to reports from the Palestinian news agency Wafa and Al Jazeera correspondents, despite a US-brokered ceasefire announced in October last year. The latest incidents include a drone strike near a hospital and fuel station in Gaza City, and a separate attack that killed a 13-year-old girl in southern Gaza.

Coverage Comparison

Al Jazeera reported on Thursday that an Israeli drone struck a vehicle near Abu Khadra Mosque in the Rimal neighbourhood of western Gaza City, killing at least three people. Al Jazeera’s correspondent Hind Khoudary, reporting from Gaza City, said the attack was the first explosion in the area after a few “calm and quiet” days. She added that locals said the target was a jeep driven by civilians, and that one of the victims, Abdul Jawad Abu Lebn, was set to get married next week; wedding invitations were found inside the car.

In a separate report, Al Jazeera said an Israeli drone strike near al-Hilu station, which houses a private specialist hospital and a fuel station in Gaza City, killed at least three people, citing Wafa news agency and local sources. The Israeli military said on Telegram that it killed four Hamas fighters in separate strikes in northern Gaza, identifying them as Wael Mahmoud Ali Labad, Muaz Mohammad Hassan Ahmad, Sameh Abu Kamil and Akram Ashraf Hamad Labad. It provided no evidence to support its claim.

Another Al Jazeera report described attacks on Sunday that killed at least four Palestinians, including a 13-year-old girl. According to Wafa, an Israeli drone struck the al-Salatin area west of Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza, killing at least two people and wounding at least one more. In southern Gaza, Israeli forces bombed a tent sheltering displaced Palestinians in Khan Younis, wounding several people. Medical staff at Nasser Medical Complex said they received the body of one unidentified man after the attack, and that in a separate incident, 13-year-old Eileen al-Farra was killed by shrapnel from Israeli tank shelling.

What was claimed, and who backed it

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
