Amman, Sept. 1 (Petra) -- Three Palestinians were killed and several others injured Tuesday in Israeli occupation forces’ bombardment and gunfire in the central and northern Gaza Strip.

Medical sources reported that a woman and a child were killed and around nine others injured in more than 10 strikes carried out by Israeli occupation drones, along with gunfire targeting several locations in the Al-Katiba area west of Gaza City.

A girl was also killed and others injured by Israeli occupation army fire east of Deir Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, as occupation forces carried out artillery shelling and opened fire in several areas across the enclave.

Israeli military vehicles that had advanced southeast of Deir Al-Balah fired a number of smoke and explosive bombs near Al-Batoun Street southeast of the city. Israeli occupation artillery also shelled eastern areas of Al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, while occupation military vehicles opened fire east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

The death toll from the Israeli occupation’s aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, has risen to 73,456, with 174,496 people injured.

A ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel took effect on October 10, 2025, following the withdrawal of the Israeli occupation army from positions and populated areas in the Strip and the beginning of the return of displaced Palestinians to northern Gaza.
