Israeli strikes kill four across Gaza , destroy medical supply warehouse

What Happened

Israeli military strikes across the Gaza Strip killed at least four Palestinians on Saturday, including individuals in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood, Deir el-Balah, and al-Mawasi. An overnight strike destroyed medicine warehouses at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah, which the Gaza Health Ministry stated resulted in the loss of essential dialysis and intensive care supplies. The Israeli military and Shin Bet claimed the operation targeted five Hamas weapon depots, one of which was located near the hospital facility. The Gaza Health Ministry reported that 1,222 Palestinians have been killed since a ceasefire began on October 10, 2025, while the Gaza Civil Defence recently recovered 112 bodies from a site in the Sabra area of Gaza City destroyed two weeks prior.

Key Actors

Why It Matters

The strikes occur despite a technically active ceasefire and a recent disarmament agreement between Hamas and other Palestinian factions, raising questions regarding the viability of the current diplomatic roadmap. The destruction of medical infrastructure at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital further degrades the limited healthcare capacity available to displaced populations in central Gaza.

Watch For

Monitor whether the Israeli government formally adopts or rejects the current disarmament and withdrawal framework, and observe if the continued military operations lead to a collapse of the ceasefire agreement established on October 10, 2025.
