Israeli military operations in Gaza resulted in the deaths of at least eight Palestinians, with multiple attacks occurring across different regions of the territory on Sunday.
Three security guards were killed in an airstrike on the Islamic University campus in Gaza City, marking the second Israeli strike on the institution within hours. The initial drone strike on the campus injured seven female students with shrapnel, with one sustaining serious injuries requiring transfer to a field hospital. A correspondent reporting from the scene described extensive destruction and casualties, noting the facility had already sustained substantial prior damage.
Additional casualties were reported in other parts of Gaza. The Nasser Medical Complex documented two deaths resulting from Israeli shelling in al-Mawasi in Khan Younis, along with multiple wounded including a child. A person was killed in a drone strike east of Deir el-Balah in central Gaza, while another death and several injuries were reported following an attack on al-Rashid Street near Hamad Hospital in northern Gaza. A further incident in the Sheikh Nasser neighborhood east of Khan Younis resulted in one death and multiple injuries.
The Popular Resistance Committees condemned the university attacks and called for international mediation to prevent further violations. UNESCO data indicates that nearly 95 percent of Gaza’s higher education facilities have been destroyed or damaged since October 2023.
According to Palestinian Ministry of Health figures, the cumulative death toll since October 2025 stands at 1,551, with 5,573 injured. Overall casualty figures from the broader conflict since October 2023 show 74,544 deaths and at least 175,692 wounded. Palestinian authorities also report that nearly two-thirds of Gaza is now under Israeli military control or subject to restrictions, while residents face escalating food shortages due to crossing closures and reduced international humanitarian funding.
