Israeli strikes killed at least 11 people across the Gaza Strip late Saturday, including a family of five, in one of the deadliest single days since the October ceasefire took effect, according to Daily Sabah.

A family of five, three children and their parents, was killed when a strike hit a residential apartment in northwest Gaza City, according to Gaza’s civil defense agency. The family’s only surviving member was a child who was not home at the time. Al-Shifa Hospital confirmed it received the five bodies, and an Israeli military spokeswoman said the strike had targeted a Hamas member, according to Daily Sabah.

Three more people were killed when a strike hit a group of civilians in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood. Hours later, a woman died after Israeli artillery shelling, rather than an airstrike, hit a tent sheltering displaced people east of the neighborhood, with al-Ahli Hospital confirming it received her body along with several wounded, according to Arab News.

Palestinian authorities have counted more than 1,100 deaths in Gaza since the ceasefire began in October 2025, according to Albeu.com. The truce remains formally in place between Israel and Hamas, but strikes have continued almost daily, and efforts to reach a lasting agreement to end the war have stalled.
