At least four Palestinians killed in Gaza as Israeli attacks continue

At least four Palestinians were killed in Gaza on Saturday as Israel carried out several attacks across the enclave, including shelling the Nuseirat refugee camp, where Palestinian teacher Diaa Abu al-Rous was killed, according to al-Awda Hospital.

Arafat al-Arair also died after being seriously wounded days earlier when Israel struck a vehicle in the Tel al-Hawa neighbourhood, southwest of Gaza City; a medical source at al-Shifa Hospital confirmed his death, Al Jazeera reported.

Two girls died on Saturday from injuries sustained the previous evening when their tent caught fire at a camp for displaced people in al-Mawasi, in Khan Younis. Nasser Medical Complex confirmed their deaths, though it is not clear what caused the fire.

Gaza's Ministry of Health said at least six Palestinians were killed over the past 48 hours, bringing the number killed since the October 2025 ceasefire to 1,580. Its daily statistical report on Saturday said another 26 people were injured over the same period.

The UN human rights office (OHCHR) warned on Friday that Israel's actions were displacing Palestinians and continued to raise concerns of ethnic cleansing, saying Israeli forces were destroying what remained of Gaza's civilian infrastructure. Al Jazeera's Tareq Abu Azzoum, reporting from Deir el-Balah, said Israel was targeting civilians.

Hamas says it will not fully disarm until Israel withdraws entirely from Gaza.
