An Israeli drone strike on a vehicle in Gaza City on Saturday killed a 21-year-old Palestinian and wounded five others, including children, according to Gaza medical sources. The deceased was identified as Hasan Mustafa Zuheir Al Razayneh, son of the North Gaza Governorate Police chief.
Witnesses and video footage indicated that an Israeli drone fired four consecutive projectiles at the car. The first hit the front of the vehicle, causing Al Razayneh, the driver, to flee towards the beach. He was hit by a second projectile but continued running until he returned to the road, where two more explosives fell, killing him.
The deceased was identified as Hasan Mustafa Zuheir Al Razayneh, of 21 years.
Medical personnel at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital confirmed the arrival of Al Razayneh's body and the transfer of five injured individuals, some of them children, to the same facility. The Israeli military has not yet commented on the incident.
This attack occurs despite a nine-month ceasefire, during which Israeli forces have reportedly killed an average of four people daily in the Gaza Strip, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry. Since the ceasefire began on October 11, 2025, 1,098 people have died in Gaza from Israeli attacks, and 73,221 since the start of Israel's offensive following Hamas's October 7, 2023, attacks.
The drone launched four projectiles consecutively against the vehicle. The first hit the front of the car, after which Al Razayneh, the driver, got out and fled towards the beach. A second projectile hit him during his escape, but he continued to move until he returned to the road, where two other explosives fell simultaneously in front of and behind him, causing his death, according to the testimonies.
