Gaza City, Palestinian Territories. At least 10 people were killed in Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip on Saturday, according to emergency services, while the Israeli military said it had killed a man it described as the commander of a Hamas terrorist cell.
The violence continued despite a ceasefire agreement theoretically in place since October 2025, with near-daily hostilities persisting in the territory.
Strike in Gaza City
In Gaza City, a drone fired a missile that killed eight people and wounded 15 others at the Jawazat displaced persons camp, according to the civil defence, an emergency response organisation operating under the Hamas administration.
Shifa Hospital in Gaza City confirmed that eight bodies were transported to the facility. The hospital and the civil defence published a list of the victims’ names, indicating that three of the deceased were women. Their ages were not specified.
An Israeli military spokesperson told Agence France-Presse that the army had targeted terrorists in that sector, without providing further details.
Strike in Khan Younis
Further south, 25-year-old Muhannad Othman Farwana was killed on Saturday morning in a strike targeting a tent for displaced persons, the civil defence said. Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis said that several wounded people were admitted following the bombardment.
In a statement released on Saturday night, the Israeli military said it had killed Muhannad Othman Yasin Farwana in a precision strike, identifying him as a terrorist cell commander within the military wing of Hamas.
The strike targeted a tent on the roof of his house on the morning of his scheduled wedding day, his cousin Mohamed Farwana told Agence France-Presse. He said the family had been preparing to celebrate the wedding but instead attended his funeral.
