Eight Palestinians Killed in Israeli Attacks Across the Gaza Strip

HeadlineOct 26, 2026

At least eight Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip, including three security guards at Islamic University in Gaza City on Sunday. According to UNESCO, 95% of Gaza’s higher education campuses have been destroyed or damaged since Israel’s war on Gaza began in October 2023. Since last October’s so-called ceasefire, about 1,500 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks. This is Alaa Baroud, whose brother was killed in an Israeli strike on Sunday.

Alaa Baroud: “The war is ongoing. Israel claims there is a truce, but on the ground, what truce? What ceasefire are they talking about? Every day there are martyrs. Every day there are attacks. Every day there is destruction.”
