Gaza’s Civil Defence announced that an Israeli strike targeting a vehicle in the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood, located to the north of Gaza City, resulted in three fatalities. The agency updated earlier information that had recorded a single death and multiple injuries from the same incident.
The latest figures were provided by the civil defence authority and were reported by Middle East Eye, which noted the shift from the initial casualty count. The agency did not disclose the identities of the victims or the circumstances surrounding the strike beyond the location and the number of those killed.
The incident occurred despite a declared ceasefire that has been in place, according to statements from local officials. Nevertheless, Middle East Eye reported that Israeli attacks have continued across the Gaza Strip throughout the day, contributing to a cumulative death toll of at least six Palestinians.
Among those killed earlier in the day was a young girl, as confirmed by the same source. The report highlighted that the ongoing violence has resulted in both civilian and child casualties, underscoring the heightened humanitarian concerns in the region.
The broader context of the strike reflects a pattern of intermittent hostilities that persist despite ceasefire agreements. While the specific target of the vehicle remains unspecified, the incident adds to the tally of Palestinian deaths attributed to Israeli military actions on the same day. Middle East Eye’s live‑blog update continues to monitor developments, noting that the situation remains volatile and that further casualties could occur as hostilities proceed.
