Israeli forces killed at least three Palestinians, including a father and his 13-year-old son, in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, 10 November 2026, local health officials said.

Medics said Fadi Rajab and his son Abubakr were killed in an airstrike that hit the roof of a displacement shelter in the Zeitoun neighbourhood of Gaza City. A third person was killed by gunfire in Khan Younis, in the south of the enclave, according to the same reports.

The Israeli military did not immediately comment on either of the incidents, Reuters reported.

Separate reports through the day

Al Jazeera, reporting separately on Tuesday, put the day’s toll at at least four Palestinians killed in air attacks and gunfire in separate incidents. Its report named a couple, Akram Yassin and his wife Dina Abu Baker, who medics said were killed in an Israeli airstrike on an apartment in Gaza City, and a 17-year-old boy killed by Israeli gunfire near the Qizan an-Najjar neighbourhood in Khan Younis. Another person was killed by gunfire in the Zeitoun suburb east of Gaza City, the report said.

The Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that the Israeli military also carried out artillery attacks in other areas south of Khan Younis.

Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Deir el-Balah, Tareq Abu Azzoum, said there had been a surge in Israeli attacks across Gaza overnight and into the early hours of Tuesday, concentrated on Gaza City, with drones and fighter jets active over the central areas of the territory in the early morning.

A relative of one of those killed, Mahmoud Yassin, told Reuters: “We’re supposed to be in a ceasefire period, but honestly, we are not seeing a ceasefire or anything. The war is still going on, assassinations are continuing, and the shelling has not stopped.”

Ceasefire under strain

The killings come more than a year after a US-brokered ceasefire that was supposed to halt the fighting in Gaza. According to the territory’s health officials, at least 1,600 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since the ceasefire agreement, while Israel says four of its soldiers have been killed in the same period.

The ceasefire called for the eventual reconstruction of Gaza, but little progress has been made, and negotiators have failed to agree on terms for Hamas to disarm or for Israel to withdraw its troops, which control about two-thirds of the territory and from which residents have been ordered to leave.

Israel says Hamas is trying to regroup and refill its arsenal, while Hamas says it is committed to the ceasefire agreement and accuses Israel of trying to undermine it.

Palestinian authorities say more than 74,000 people have been killed in Israel’s assault on Gaza since October 2023, launched after Hamas-led fighters killed about 1,200 people in southern Israel on 7 October 2023. Gaza’s health authorities put the toll at 74,480 killed and 175,539 wounded, according to figures cited by Al Jazeera.
