ISTANBUL

The Israeli army on Wednesday killed one Palestinian and injured eight others in a strike targeting land adjacent to a camp sheltering displaced people in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, in what Palestinian sources described as a new violation of the ceasefire.

Medical sources told Anadolu that “one body and eight injured” were brought to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah following the Israeli strike.

Eyewitnesses said an Israeli warplane carried out a heavy strike on an empty plot next to a densely populated displacement camp, following a prior evacuation warning via phone call, with no official statement issued by the Israeli army.

The attack came as part of what Palestinian authorities describe as ongoing Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza since Oct. 10, 2025, which have killed 689 Palestinians and injured 1,860 others, most of them women and children, according to the Health Ministry.

Earlier in the day, two Palestinians were killed in a strike carried out by an Israeli drone west of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, according to medical sources.

The Palestine Red Crescent field hospital in Khan Younis in southern Gaza also said it received five injured people following shelling by Israeli naval forces targeting tents for displaced people along the city’s coast, according to a statement received by Anadolu.
