Gaza’s civil defence service reported that Israeli strikes killed 10 people on Saturday amid a fragile ceasefire in effect since last October.
In Gaza City, a drone strike killed eight people and wounded 15 others in the Jawazat camp for displaced people, according to the civil defence.
The city’s Al-Shifa Hospital also reported receiving eight bodies.
Further south, a 25-year-old man, Muhannad Othman Farwana, was killed in the morning in a strike on a tent, the civil defence said.
Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis said the man’s body had been brought in along with several wounded.
In a statement, the Israeli military claimed Farwana was a cell commander in the military wing of Hamas, adding he had been killed in a precision strike.
The strike hit his tent on the roof of his house, hours before his wedding, said his cousin Mohammed Farwana.
“The whole family was ready to celebrate his wedding. Now, we’re attending his funeral instead,” he told AFP.
Later in the evening, the civil defence said another person was killed in an Israeli strike in southeast Gaza City, identifying him as a 37-year-old man.
At least 951 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli violations since the ceasefire took effect in October 2025, according to Gaza’s health ministry. The Israeli army has reported five deaths in its ranks during the same period..
Restrictions imposed on media outlets and limited access in Gaza prevent AFP from independently verifying tolls or freely covering the violence there.
