Nine Palestinians were killed and dozens wounded, including women and children, in simultaneous Israeli airstrikes early Thursday targeting four residential apartments across Gaza City, according to medical sources.

The latest strikes come as Israel continues to violate the ceasefire agreement in force in the Gaza Strip since Oct. 10, 2025.

Nine bodies and dozens of wounded were received at Al-Shifa Hospital, an Anadolu correspondent at the scene reported citing medical sources.

Some of the bodies arrived dismembered, while others were severely burned, the sources added.

Israel’s two-year genocide in Gaza since October 2023 has killed nearly 73,000 Palestinians and injured more than 173,000, most of them women and children, according to Palestinian figures.

Despite a ceasefire that took effect on Oct. 10, 2025, the Israeli army has killed 936 Palestinians and injured 2,903 in near-daily attacks, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

The Gaza Ministry of Health recorded 199 Palestinian deaths last May alone. It stated this is “highest number of martyrs recorded since the beginning of this year,” and made through Israeli gunfire.

Data from the Ministry shows that women, children, and the elderly constitute 30% of the total number of deaths that continue to be indiscriminately made.

The number of children killed reached 19 (16%), while 10 women lost their lives (8.5%) in that aforementioned month.

According to official health statistics, the total number of those killed since the ceasefire on October 11, 2025, has risen to 933 with 2,868 injuries. This is while the number of bodies recovered from under the rubble reached 781.

Since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on October 7, 2023, the total number of those martyred reached 72,942, while the number of injuries spiked to 172,967.

Since October 2025, following the signing of the ceasefire agreement under US auscpices, the Israeli occupying forces continued to commit serious violations of the truce, including gunfire, shelling, and the destruction of civilian infrastructure. This has resulted in further deaths and injuries of ordinary civilians.
