Israeli forces killed at least seven Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, local health officials said, including a father and his 13-year-old son in an airstrike on a displacement shelter in Gaza City.
Medics said Fadi Rajab and his son Abubakr were killed when an airstrike hit the roof of a building sheltering displaced people in the Zeitoun neighbourhood of Gaza City. His wife was moderately injured in the same strike. A third Palestinian was killed in an Israeli airstrike near a school in Gaza City’s Daraj neighbourhood, health officials added.

In Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, Israeli gunfire killed a man, medics said. Later on Tuesday, an Israeli airstrike hit a metal foundry in the Sabra neighbourhood of Gaza City, killing three people, medics said, taking the day’s death toll to at least seven.
The Israeli military said it had struck militants in both areas of Gaza City, without giving further details. It did not immediately comment on the incidents in Khan Younis or in the Sabra neighbourhood.
The deaths came despite a US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas that took effect in October. Violence has continued in the territory since the truce began, with both sides accusing each other of violations. According to Gaza’s health officials, at least 1,600 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since the ceasefire agreement, while Israel says four of its soldiers have been killed.
Separately, Palestinian officials said a 14-year-old boy was killed on Tuesday during an Israeli military operation in the village of Burqa, north-west of Nablus in the occupied West Bank. The Palestinian health ministry identified the boy as Moataz Iyad and said Israeli authorities were withholding his body. Two other teenagers, aged 17 and 19, were wounded by Israeli gunfire in the same operation.
The United Nations humanitarian office has documented more than 2,060 settler attacks resulting in Palestinian casualties or property damage across about 300 West Bank communities between 1 January and 12 October 2026, according to figures cited in reports of Tuesday’s incidents.
Casualty figures from Gaza could not be independently verified. Media restrictions and limited access to the territory have prevented news agencies from independently confirming the toll or freely covering the fighting. Gaza’s civil defence agency, which operates as a rescue force under the Hamas authorities, reported the strikes, and the territory’s health ministry, which also operates under Hamas authority, is the source for the overall toll since the ceasefire.
