Palestinian medical staff and witnesses reported a series of drone strikes through the day. The Palestinian Wafa news agency, citing medical sources, said a man was killed and several others wounded when a drone struck a group of civilians near al-Faluja cemetery, west of Jabalia. Another Palestinian was killed and several injured in an attack on the al-Mawasi area of Rafah.
Staff at al-Shifa Hospital said two people were killed and others wounded in the Tuffah neighbourhood of northeast Gaza City. Witnesses told Al Jazeera the victims were returning from the burial of an earlier attack victim. One more death was reported in eastern Gaza City, and staff at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza recorded one person killed and another injured in Deir el-Balah.
In an update issued on Saturday, Gaza's Health Ministry said 1,511 Palestinians had been killed and 5,375 injured since the United States-brokered ceasefire was announced on October 10, 2025. In the preceding 48 hours, the ministry reported six deaths and 43 injuries across the strip. It put the total toll since the war began in October 2023 at 74,469 killed and 175,492 injured.
The toll on children drew attention on Friday from UNICEF. Speaking to reporters in Geneva, spokesman Ricardo Pires said more than 340 children had been killed since the ceasefire began, with seven children dying in attacks over the previous two weeks and at least 33 others seriously injured. UNICEF said about 800,000 children remained displaced, many in tents or unsafe buildings as winter approaches.
The violence comes as Gaza's population faces growing restrictions on where it can live. Mapping published by Al Jazeera on October 12 showed Israeli forces control or restrict access to about 65 percent of the territory. The so-called Yellow Line, initially established to mark Israeli military positions after a partial withdrawal under the ceasefire, has been pushed further into Palestinian areas, leaving about 2.1 million people in the remaining accessible zone.
