Read the detailed report on the recent Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, which have resulted in the deaths of multiple Palestinians and targeted areas near Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.
Gaza, Palestine — July 25, 2026
A fresh wave of Israeli military airstrikes has hit the Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of at least five Palestinians and leaving numerous others injured in a series of attacks across the devastated territory. The strikes, which occurred despite a fragile ceasefire agreement that came into effect on October 10, 2025, targeted various locations, including the immediate vicinity of a major health facility and a densely populated refugee camp.
The aftermath of these relentless bombardments has brought chaos, death, and severe injuries to an already highly vulnerable civilian population.
Attack on Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital Vicinity
One of the most alarming incidents occurred outside the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, located in the central Gaza Strip. The hospital is one of the largest remaining health facilities in the area, serving as a critical refuge for the injured and a shelter for displaced civilians.
According to medical sources and local reports, an Israeli airstrike, explicitly noted as a drone strike, targeted the hospital's gate and a gathering of civilians directly outside the facility. This attack resulted in the death of at least one Palestinian and wounded several others, with some reports indicating 10 to 11 people were injured.
The scene outside the hospital was described as chaotic, with bystanders rushing severely wounded, blood-covered individuals into the facility for emergency treatment.
Widespread Strikes Across the Strip
The violence was not confined to Deir al-Balah. The Israeli military launched attacks in several other areas, leading to further civilian casualties:
Sheikh Radwan, Northern Gaza: An Israeli drone strike targeted a bicycle near the Al-Ghazali intersection, killing 54-year-old Abdul Nasser Mohammed al-Maqadma, the police chief for the northern Gaza area.
Jabalia Refugee Camp: A bombing targeted a gathering of civilians in the densely populated Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, resulting in multiple injuries and at least one reported fatality.
Al-Zawayda: An Israeli airstrike targeted a tent housing displaced people in the central town of Al-Zawayda, injuring several civilians. In a separate incident west of the area, a drone strike seriously injured two more individuals.
Khan Younis: In southern Gaza, attacks were also reported, with casualties contributing to the rising death toll.
The Ongoing Toll on Civilians
These recent attacks are part of a continuous pattern of violence that has characterized the military aggression, which many international observers and human rights advocates have labeled as a genocide against the Palestinian people. The Gaza Health Ministry reported that ongoing violations involving airstrikes and gunfire have killed over 1,191 Palestinians and injured more than 3,853 others since the October ceasefire. The total toll since October 2023 is devastating, with reports indicating more than 73,000 Palestinians killed and over 173,000 injured, alongside the destruction of roughly 90% of civilian infrastructure.
The continuous targeting of areas near hospitals and displacement camps raises profound concerns about the safety of civilians in Gaza. With "nowhere safe" for Palestinians, the humanitarian crisis deepens daily, as the scale of attacks and the resulting agony for the population remain unyielding.
