Three Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes across Gaza, including a child and a health ministry official's son

Casualties reported across Gaza

At least three Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks on Saturday, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry and local emergency services. One death occurred in the Shujayea neighbourhood east of Gaza City, while another resulted from an air strike west of Jabalia refugee camp. The Ministry confirmed that Basir al-Bursh, the son of its director general Munir al-Bursh, was among those killed in the az-Zahra neighbourhood, also west of Jabalia.

Injuries and additional incidents

Medical sources said a girl died from injuries sustained by Israeli gunfire north of the Nuseirat refugee camp, and a woman was seriously wounded east of the Maghazi refugee camp. Further reports indicated several people were injured in the same air strike near Jabalia.

Context and unknowns

The attacks come amid ongoing hostilities that have resulted in thousands of casualties since a U.S.-brokered ceasefire was announced in October 2025. Exact numbers of those injured in the latest incidents remain unverified, and details about the specific circumstances of each strike have not been independently confirmed.
