UN says Israeli policies worsened deadly impact of Gaza winter storm
The UN says Israel could have prevented death and destruction caused by the storm in Gaza had it allowed sufficient aid.
Israeli strikes across Gaza resulted in the deaths of six Palestinians and left around 20 others injured, according to medical sources and witnesses. The attacks occurred on Friday, with Israeli artillery targeting civilians who were assisting victims from a previous strike in Deir al-Balah. Deir al-Balah itself witnessed a double-tap strike, where Israeli forces hit civilians aiding the injured from a prior attack.
Additionally, Israeli artillery shelled a residential complex known as the al-Qastal Towers, located east of Deir al-Balah. Medical personnel transported the wounded to al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah. Following the ceasefire that began on October 11, 2025, Israeli attacks have claimed the lives of 1,622 Palestinians and injured 5,878 others, as reported by Gaza's health ministry.
