Gaza city: A Palestinian woman succumbed to her injuries overnight on Wednesday following an Israeli airstrike on a residential building west of Gaza City.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency, the woman was critically injured when Israeli aircraft targeted a densely populated area near Al-Kanz Mosque in the Rimal neighbourhood. The airstrike resulted in the deaths of four civilians, including two women, and injured five more.
The latest incident is part of a broader military campaign by Israel on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, which has led to the deaths of 72,803 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 172,855 others. The devastation has left 90% of the Strip's infrastructure in ruins, with reconstruction costs estimated at $70 billion.
Since the ceasefire agreement took hold on October 11, 2025, Israel has been accused of committing 3,005 violations, resulting in the deaths of 910 Palestinians, injuries to 2,747, and the abduction of 82 individuals. During this period, the bodies of 781 Palestinians have been recovered.
In the past 24 hours alone, Gaza hospitals have received the bodies of six more Palestinians along with 34 injured individuals. Additionally, at least 10,000 people remain unaccounted for, believed to be buried beneath the rubble.
The ongoing conflict has displaced nearly two million people across the Gaza Strip, with most forced into the already overcrowded southern city of Rafah, near the Egyptian border. This displacement marks the largest mass exodus of Palestinians since the 1948 Nakba.
