- Three people died when an Israeli drone struck a car in Gaza City, according to civil defense.
- The incident occurred near a park in the western part of the city, with images showing a burning vehicle surrounded by onlookers.
- This attack comes as Gaza's death toll from Israeli actions since October 2023 surpasses 73,000.
An Israeli drone strike killed three people in Gaza City on Thursday when it targeted a vehicle in the western Rimal neighborhood, near the Abu Jadra mosque. Civil defense services in the enclave reported that their teams recovered three bodies and evacuated four injured individuals from the scene.
Palestinian news agency WAFA reported the attack was carried out by an Israeli armed forces drone. Images circulating on Palestinian channels depicted a street filled with people surrounding the burning vehicle. The Israeli military had not yet commented on the strike, which occurred far from the militarized zone under its control in Gaza.
This incident follows a pattern of targeted attacks by Israel in recent weeks, which the military often justifies as targeting "terrorists." On Wednesday, a similar drone strike on a café in Mawasi, southern Gaza, killed two unidentified individuals. According to the Hamas-run Ministry of Health in Gaza, the total number of Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks since the October 2023 ceasefire has exceeded 1,000, and the overall death toll since October 7, 2023, stands at over 73,000.
Our teams evacuated four injured people in the attack on the vehicle and three bodies were recovered by civilians.
