Hospitals in Gaza have reported deaths from Israeli strikes in Gaza City and a shooting in Khan Younis on 10 November, as violence continued more than a year after a ceasefire took effect.
Shifa Hospital said four people were killed in three separate Israeli strikes in Gaza City. In the south of the territory, Nasser Hospital said one person was shot dead after crossing the so-called Yellow Line near Khan Younis.
Medics said a father and his 13-year-old son were killed when an air strike hit the roof of a shelter for displaced people in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighbourhood.
The Israeli military said it had struck militants in Gaza City. It did not immediately comment on the reported shooting in Khan Younis. The military’s statement does not establish that the people reported killed were combatants.
Violence during the ceasefire
The Yellow Line is a demarcation line associated with the ceasefire. In an assessment of the agreement’s early months, the United Nations said Israeli troops remained deployed in areas beyond the line. It also reported that air strikes, shelling and gunfire continued during that period, resulting in casualties.
The ceasefire took effect in October 2025 and envisaged the eventual reconstruction of Gaza. As of 10 November, negotiators had not agreed on terms for Hamas to disarm or for Israel to withdraw its troops. Residents had been ordered to leave areas under Israeli control.
Israel says Hamas is seeking to regroup and replenish its weapons. Hamas says it remains committed to the ceasefire and accuses Israel of trying to undermine it. Those positions remain disputed and do not establish the circumstances of the deaths reported on 10 November.
The Israeli offensive began after the Hamas-led attacks in southern Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed. Palestinian authorities say more than 74,000 people have been killed in the Israeli assault on Gaza. The figures cover different events and periods from the hospital reports about Tuesday’s incidents.
Displacement and pressures on care
The reported strike on a shelter comes as many families remain displaced. On 9 November, the UN children’s agency UNICEF said around 1.7 million displaced people in Gaza were living in tents, makeshift shelters or damaged buildings.
The agency said recent heavy rain had directly affected more than 106,000 people, damaging or destroying shelters, latrines and belongings. It estimated that 950,000 displaced people were living in areas exposed to flooding. These are humanitarian estimates, not counts of people affected by the strikes.
In an assessment dated 8 November, the UN humanitarian office said rain and flooding had affected health facilities as well as places where displaced people were sheltering. It reported water entering several departments at Nasser Medical Complex and said flooding and wind had damaged clinics and medical points.
The office also reported that some mobile health services were temporarily suspended and that flooded roads delayed staff movement. Humanitarian partners were distributing emergency supplies, but the office said stocks of tents, tarpaulins, blankets and clothes inside Gaza were virtually exhausted.
UNICEF said it and its partners were distributing winter clothing, blankets, tarpaulins and hygiene supplies, while working to clear blocked sewers and stormwater basins. It called for equipment to be allowed in to repair water and sanitation infrastructure.
