At least 10 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip, including four members of one family whose home was struck overnight in Gaza City, according to medical sources and local reporting. Several other people were injured.
The Gaza City strike hit a residential building on al-Thalatini Street at about 2am local time, the Wafa news agency reported. A father and his daughters, four-year-old Zina and 14-year-old Lana, were killed. Their mother was wounded and died later on Saturday. Other people were also injured.
A relative, Mohammad Safadi, said he and his wife were among the wounded and that there had been no warning before the explosion. An Al Jazeera correspondent reporting from Gaza likewise said the area had not received an advance notice. The initial reporting did not include an Israeli military account of that specific strike or state what target Israel said it was pursuing.
Separate incidents were reported elsewhere in the enclave. In Bureij camp in central Gaza, an Israeli attack killed two people, one of them Al Jazeera Mubasher cameraman Ahmed Wishah, according to the network's correspondents.
A medical source told Anadolu that Israeli gunfire killed a Palestinian woman in Beit Lahia in the north. Witnesses said a drone strike near al-Saftawi roundabout in northern Gaza City killed a man and moderately wounded a woman. Another older Palestinian was reported killed by Israeli naval fire directed at tents housing displaced people west of Gaza City.
Near Khan Younis in the south, a drone attack killed one person and wounded seven, according to Anadolu. The accounts from the different locations brought the reported daily death toll to at least 10.
The attacks took place during a ceasefire brokered by the United States in October. Gaza health authorities said at least 1,007 people had been killed and 3,165 wounded since that arrangement began. They reported an overall death toll of at least 73,018 in Gaza since the war started in October 2023. The report did not provide independent verification of those cumulative figures.
Conditions for Gaza's population remained severe. Israel restricts deliveries of food, medicine and shelter supplies, while about 2.2 million people have acute humanitarian needs. Israeli forces also continued to hold large areas of the territory.
For the June 20 incidents, the available record documents victims across multiple sites but gives little information about Israeli operational reasoning. The absence of a military explanation for the residential strike leaves key questions about intended targets and precautions unanswered. The ceasefire-period figures were reported by Gaza authorities and remained distinct from the separate location-by-location accounts of Saturday’s attacks.
