Israeli Strikes in Gaza Kill Seven Palestinians

HeadlineOct 21, 2026

In Gaza, Israeli strikes killed at least seven Palestinians Tuesday, including a married couple and a 17-year-old, in separate ​incidents across the Gaza Strip. Despite last October’s so-called ceasefire, Israeli strikes have killed at least 1,500 Palestinians in Gaza. This is a brother of a Palestinian killed in an Israeli airstrike earlier this month.

Mahmoud Yassin: “We’re supposed to be in a ceasefire period, but, honestly, we are not seeing a ceasefire or anything. The war is still going on, assassinations are continuing, and the shelling has not stopped. We are appealing to and calling on those responsible for us to put an end to these assassinations and attacks, because we are a people who want to live.”
