One Palestinian was killed and others were injured Saturday in an Israeli drone strike targeting the courtyard of a home in the central Gaza Strip, in the latest violation of an ongoing ceasefire, a medical source said.
Witnesses told Anadolu that an Israeli drone struck the courtyard in the Al-Bassa area of Deir al-Balah.
A medical source told Anadolu Agency that the attack killed one Palestinian and injured several others.
The strike was part of Israel’s continuing violations of a ceasefire agreement in effect in Gaza since Oct. 10, 2025.
It came despite US President Donald Trump’s call for an end to Israeli strikes on the Palestinian enclave.
The Israeli army has killed more than 73,000 Palestinians and injured over 174,000 others in a brutal offensive since October 2023.
