Three Palestinians were killed Wednesday in Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip, in fresh violations of the ceasefire agreement in place since October 2025, Anadolu reports.

Mohammed Naim Jundiya was killed when an Israeli drone targeted him near Municipal Park on Omar al-Mukhtar Street in central Gaza City, a medical source told Anadolu.

Witnesses said the strike hit Jundiya while he was walking on Omar al-Mukhtar Street, one of the city’s main roads, and damaged several vehicles at the scene.

Two Palestinians were also killed and a third was critically injured after a drone strike targeted a gathering of civilians in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, north of Gaza City, the source added.

According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, Israeli violations of the ceasefire have killed 1,053 Palestinians and injured 3,406 others as of Tuesday.

The ministry said more than 73,000 Palestinians have been killed and over 173,000 injured since the start of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza on Oct. 8, 2023, with about 90% of the enclave’s civilian infrastructure destroyed.
