Two Palestinians Killed in Gaza Today

HeadlineOct 12, 2026

In Gaza, two Palestinians were killed today as an Israeli drone struck vehicles in the southern city of Rafah. This follows an Israeli airstrike on Sunday that killed three Palestinians in a tent in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis, which Israel previously designated as a so-called safe zone. On Saturday, separate Israeli strikes killed at least five Palestinians in Gaza. Those attacks came on the first anniversary of the U.S.-brokered so-called ceasefire agreement. Palestinian officials say Israel violated the deal more than 5,100 times in attacks that killed at least 1,471 Palestinians and injured nearly 5,200 others. This is Nael al-Buhaisi, whose home was damaged in an Israeli strike.

Nael Al-Buhaisi: “Where would they go? They will stay in the streets. Where? There’s no shelter or anything. All empty areas are filled. All is filled with tents in the north, the south and in the middle, where we are living. We started living this tragedy, as well. There is no choice left for humans. There is no desire to live with this situation that we are in.”
