A series of Israeli military operations across the Gaza Strip resulted in the deaths of at least four Palestinians, with incidents occurring on Saturday and Friday. Medical officials and civil defence agencies reported the casualties and documented the circumstances surrounding the strikes.
One of the fatalities was Basir al-Bursh, the eldest son of Munir al-Bursh, who serves as director general of Gaza’s Ministry of Health. The younger al-Bursh was killed in a drone strike in the az-Zahra neighbourhood near Jabalia in northern Gaza while attending classes at alternative learning spaces operated by local organizations. According to eyewitness accounts, he was struck directly by a drone missile as he exited a tent. Video footage obtained by journalists showed the health ministry director carrying his son’s body to a hospital. The Health Ministry subsequently issued a statement expressing condolences to al-Bursh and his family.
In a separate incident on Saturday, an Israeli drone struck a civilian vehicle in the Sheikh Radwan market area of Gaza City, killing one person and wounding at least four others, including two children, according to Gaza’s civil defence agency. The vehicle ignited and burned for approximately thirty minutes before emergency crews were able to extinguish the fire. One body was reported to have arrived at al-Shifa Medical Complex with severe burn injuries.
Additionally, one person was killed in a strike on the Shujayea neighbourhood east of Gaza City on Saturday. A Palestinian girl also died from injuries sustained in Israeli gunfire north of the Nuseirat refugee camp the previous day, according to hospital announcements. A woman and another individual were reported wounded in separate incidents in central Gaza.
These attacks occurred within the context of broader military operations in the territory. Since a ceasefire arrangement was announced in October 2025, Israeli operations have resulted in at least 1,390 additional Palestinian deaths, according to available reports. Overall casualty figures since the broader conflict began in October 2023 are significantly higher.
