An Israeli air strike hit an apartment in Gaza City, killing Akram Yassin and his wife Dina Abu Baker, medics told reporters on Tuesday. In Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, a 17-year-old boy was killed by Israeli gunfire near the Qizan an-Najjar neighbourhood, and another person died from gunfire in the Zeitoun suburb east of Gaza City. Artillery attacks were also reported in areas south of Khan Younis, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa.
Al Jazeera's correspondent Tareq Abu Azzoum, reporting from Deir el-Balah, said there had been a surge in Israeli attacks across Gaza overnight and into the early hours of Tuesday, concentrated on Gaza City, where a residential flat was targeted without warning. Footage from the site showed the scale of destruction inflicted on the whole residential area, he said, adding that Israeli drones and fighter jets were clearly active across central areas overnight.
Palestinians inspected the aftermath of the strike before gathering for the couple's funeral. Mahmoud Yassin, whose brother was killed, told Reuters: "We're supposed to be in a ceasefire period, but honestly, we are not seeing a ceasefire or anything. The war is still going on, assassinations are continuing, and the shelling has not stopped."
According to Gaza health authorities, at least 74,480 people have been killed and 175,539 wounded since October 2023. Since the October 2025 ceasefire, 1,522 Palestinians have been killed and 5,421 wounded in Israeli attacks, and 839 bodies have been recovered from under the rubble. The United Nations says about 82 percent of structures in Gaza, roughly 200,000 buildings, have been damaged, with about two-thirds destroyed since the war began.
The account of Tuesday's events comes from Gaza health officials, witnesses and the Al Jazeera correspondent reporting from the territory.
