An Israeli drone strike killed a Palestinian man and wounded an unspecified number of people on Sunday in the southern Gaza city of Khan Yunis, according to hospital sources, raising the total number of Gazans killed by Israeli fire since the October 10, 2025 ceasefire began to at least 872.
The Israeli army confirmed in a statement that it had killed a Gazan allegedly armed in the Yellow Line area of southern Gaza, claiming as usual that the man “posed an imminent threat to soldiers.”

Despite the ceasefire, the Zionist regime carried out a large-scale bombing on Friday, hitting a residential building and a vehicle in the Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City, killing seven people — including Hamas military leader Izz al Din Al Haddad, along with his wife and one of his daughters.
More than 72,700 Gazans have died in Israeli attacks since October 7, 2023 — including over 20,000 children — in a military offensive that has devastated the Palestinian enclave, forcibly displaced most of the population, and been labeled “genocide” by an independent UN committee, NGOs, and other humanitarian organizations.
