Palestine weekly: Israel attacks children, hospitals in bloody week in Gaza
Israeli attacks killed at least 10 people in Gaza in 24 hours, including children, and struck a hospital, as violence persisted despite a ceasefire. The World Central Kitchen condemned the killing of one of its drivers, and the death toll since the ceasefire reached at least 1,108.
Israeli attacks have killed at least 10 people in Gaza within 24 hours, including children, as violence persists despite a US-brokered ceasefire, according to medical sources cited by Al Jazeera. The latest deaths bring the toll since the ceasefire to at least 1,108, with children repeatedly among the victims over the past week.
Coverage Comparison
Al Jazeera reported on the latest escalation in two separate accounts, one focusing on the deaths and one on the broader weekly toll. The first report, drawing on medical sources, detailed attacks on Thursday and Wednesday that killed at least 10 people, including a World Central Kitchen (WCK) driver. The second report highlighted the killing of children and strikes on a hospital, and placed the deaths in the context of the ceasefire's failure to stop violence.
Both reports attribute the attacks to Israeli military actions, with the second employing stronger language, calling the war "genocidal" and describing "systematic targeting of health facilities."
Key Claims
At least 1,108 people have been killed in Gaza since the October ceasefire, according to Palestinian health officials cited by Al Jazeera.
Eight people were killed in Israeli strikes on July 8, including a 10-year-old killed in a strike on a tent in the al-Mawasi humanitarian zone and a six-year-old shot in Gaza City's Zeitoun neighbourhood, as reported by Palestinian health officials to Al Jazeera.
A World Central Kitchen driver, Ahmad Nasser Saleem, was shot dead on July 9 while transporting coordinated aid from the Karam Abu Salem crossing, as reported by Al Jazeera. WCK condemned the attack, saying "Humanitarian aid deliveries should never be a target," and called for a full accounting by Israel.
On July 12, nine-year-old Tala Jumaa Abu Matar was killed by Israeli fire near the Nuseirat refugee camp, according to medical sources cited by Wafa, as reported by Al Jazeera.
On July 10, an Israeli drone struck the courtyard of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, wounding staff, despite the facility sitting inside the Israeli-controlled "green zone," as reported by Al Jazeera. Gaza's Ministry of Health called it part of Israel's "systematic targeting of health facilities."
At least 10 people were killed in Gaza in 24 hours, with four killed on Thursday, two in an Israeli drone attack on a home west of Khan Younis, one in a strike in Gaza City, and one in a drone strike in the Nuseirat refugee camp, according to medical sources cited by Al Jazeera.
The cumulative death toll in Gaza since the start of the war in October 2023 has reached at least 73,231, with 173,686 wounded, as reported by Al Jazeera. A separate Al Jazeera report put the figure at more than 73,118.
Perspectives
Gaza Ministry of Health: The ministry reported eight people killed in 24 hours and at least 17 injured, and described the hospital strike as part of Israel's "systematic targeting of health facilities."
World Central Kitchen: The aid group condemned the killing of its driver, stating that humanitarian aid deliveries "should never be a target" and that it expects a full accounting from Israel.
United Nations: The UN's own data, published after COGAT's report, contradicted Israeli claims of sufficient aid, according to Al Jazeera's report (though the specific UN data was not provided in the material).

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.
