Gaza, MINA – An Israeli drone strike killed one Palestinian and wounded another early Thursday when it hit a tent sheltering displaced people in central Gaza, medical sources at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital told Anadolu Agency.
The drone fired two missiles at the tent west of Al-Zawayda, the sources said. Local sources identified the man killed as Abd Walid Matar.
Israeli artillery shelled eastern Gaza City and Israeli naval vessels opened fire toward the shore. A drone also struck the city’s Al-Karama neighborhood. In the southern Gaza Strip, Israeli forces carried out a demolition east of Khan Younis.
The attacks came amid daily Israeli violations of a ceasefire agreement in effect since October 10, 2025.

On Tuesday, Israeli attacks and wounds from earlier strikes claimed three Palestinian lives in Gaza. Among those killed was a girl who died when an Israeli drone struck a tent near Gaza Municipality Park, also wounding several people.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said Israeli ceasefire violations have killed 1,599 Palestinians and wounded 5,774 others. Israeli attacks since October 8, 2023, have killed more than 74,000 Palestinians and wounded over 174,000 others in Gaza, according to ministry figures. The attacks have also caused widespread destruction, affecting around 90 percent of civilian infrastructure.
The strike on a displacement tent is the latest in a series of attacks on the very structures meant to protect civilians who have already lost their homes. On Tuesday, a drone struck a tent near Gaza Municipality Park, killing a girl. On Saturday, two infant girls, Habiba Zannoun, four months old, and Aseel Abu Suhaiban, six months old, died from severe burns after a fire engulfed a displacement tent in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Yunis.
The pattern is particularly acute because Gaza’s displaced population has no alternative to tents. The winter emergency committee in Gaza has warned that around 7,800 tents are located in hazardous areas and require urgent relocation, while roughly 200,000 dilapidated tents shelter hundreds of thousands of displaced people. An additional 2,000 structurally damaged buildings are at risk of collapse during upcoming storms.

The attacks also come as essential medical supplies have reached zero stock levels. Gaza’s Health Ministry reported that nearly 50 percent of medical consumables and 42 percent of essential medicines were out of stock during October, with chemotherapy, hormonal therapies, immunosuppressants, and clotting factors exhausted, disrupting care for about 55 percent of patients who rely on them.
The strikes on Thursday included artillery shelling of eastern Gaza City, naval gunfire toward the shore, a drone strike in the Al-Karama neighborhood, and a demolition east of Khan Younis, reflecting the range of military activity that continues despite the ceasefire. The Gaza Media Office has documented 5,989 Israeli ceasefire violations since the truce began, including 753 in October alone, and the death toll from violations has now reached 1,599.[]
