Four Palestinians were martyred, and several others were wounded on Wednesday in a series of ongoing Israeli attacks targeting multiple areas across the Gaza Strip.
According to Al-Mayadeen’s correspondent, an Israeli drone struck a group of Palestinians near the Beit Lahia roundabout in the northern part of the Strip, resulting in the martyrdom of two people and the injury of others.
Another person was martyred, and several Palestinians were wounded, in a strike that targeted a group east of the Al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza.
In the south, one person was martyred, and another was injured in an Israeli strike near Al-Farabi School in the town of Bani Suhaila, east of Khan Younis.
The correspondent also reported heavy artillery shelling and intense gunfire from Israeli military vehicles east of Al-Maghazi camp, as well as artillery fire east of Jabalia in the north, forming part of an ongoing escalation hitting eastern areas since the early morning hours.
Rising Toll
Separately, the Gaza Ministry of Health announced that 10 martyrs had arrived at the Strip’s hospitals over the past 24 hours: two killed in the latest attacks and eight bodies recovered from under the rubble. The ministry noted that thousands of victims remain trapped beneath collapsed buildings and in the streets, with ambulance and civil defense teams still unable to reach them.
According to the ministry’s figures, the number of victims since the ceasefire began on October 11, 2025 has risen to 347 martyrs and 889 wounded. Rescue teams have recovered 596 bodies out of an estimated 10,000 people missing under the rubble.
The overall toll from the Israeli aggression since October 7, 2023 has now reached 69,785 martyrs and 170,965 wounded.
Humanitarian Collapse
The toll is further expected to rise as conditions inside displacement zones continue to deteriorate. Earlier on Wednesday, the High Commission for Tribal Affairs in Gaza warned of an unfolding humanitarian disaster after heavy rainfall flooded the makeshift camps where tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians are sheltering.
In an emergency statement, the commission described the scenes emerging from the camps as a “stain on humanity,” noting that children and the elderly are now at risk of drowning or hypothermia as their flimsy tents collapse into mud and rising water.
It held the Israeli occupation and the international community “fully and directly responsible” for the worsening crisis, citing the ongoing blockade and the severe shortage of adequate humanitarian aid entering the Strip.
The commission stressed that the flooding is the direct result of forced displacement into overcrowded areas and the occupation’s refusal to allow weather-resistant tents or essential sewage-drainage equipment into Gaza, conditions that have turned the latest winter storm into what it described as “a new genocide added to the burdens of aggression.”
