Israeli forces killed at least three Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on 10 November, including a father and his 13-year-old son, local health officials said. Medics said Fadi Rajab and his son Abubakr died in an air strike that hit the roof of a displacement shelter in the Zeitoun neighbourhood of Gaza City.

A third person was killed by gunfire in Khan Younis, in the south of the enclave, according to the same medical sources. The Israeli military did not immediately comment on either incident.

A US-brokered ceasefire in 2025 called for the eventual reconstruction of Gaza, but little progress has been made. Negotiators have failed to agree on terms for Hamas to disarm or for Israel to withdraw its troops, which control about two-thirds of the territory and from which residents have been ordered to leave.

Israel says Hamas is trying to regroup and refill its arsenal. Hamas says it is committed to the ceasefire and accuses Israel of trying to undermine it.

At least 1,600 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since the ceasefire agreement, according to the territory’s health officials, while Israel says four soldiers have been killed.

Palestinian authorities say more than 74,000 people have been killed in Israel’s assault on Gaza, launched after Hamas-led fighters killed about 1,200 people in southern Israel on 7 October 2023.

The Zeitoun strike on a shelter roof and the Khan Younis shooting remain, for now, without a detailed public response from the Israeli military.
