An Israeli strike on a Palestinian-owned vehicle outside a wedding hall killed one person in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip on Thursday, Anadolu reports.

The victim was reportedly driving a couple who were making preparations for their wedding.

The attack came amid continued Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement that took effect Oct. 10, 2025.

As of Wednesday, the violations had killed 1,622 Palestinians and wounded 5,878, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. The figures do not include Thursday’s casualties.

Since Oct. 8, 2023, Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians and wounded over 175,000, most of them women and children.

The war has destroyed 90% of the enclave’s infrastructure, while the UN has estimated reconstruction costs at $71.4 billion.
