Israeli strikes kill seven people in Gaza, medics say

Medics said the dead included a journalist and at least five people in a vehicle, while Gaza health officials reported more than 20 wounded.

  • On Wednesday, September 30, 2026, Israeli airstrikes hit a passenger van in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood of western Gaza City, killing five people. Local health officials reported the attack despite the ongoing US-brokered ceasefire.
  • The US-brokered ceasefire, signed in October 2025, remains stalled as negotiators fail to resolve demands regarding Hamas disarmament and Israeli troop withdrawals. Gaza's Government Media Office reports over 5,000 violations since the agreement began.
  • While the Israeli military claimed the strike targeted a militant planning attacks, Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Bassal told AFP the van was transporting civilians between Gaza City and southern Gaza. Separate attacks killed three more.
  • Ambulance officer Motaz Ayoub stated, "Everyone feels the danger of being bombed or witnessing a strike nearby," as hospitals struggle to provide care amid a decimated health system. Medical teams face overwhelming demand.
  • Since October 2023, the total death toll in Gaza has surpassed 74,000, with approximately 90% of the enclave's infrastructure destroyed according to UN figures. Ongoing violations continue eroding civilian safety across the territory.
