Israeli Airstrike in Gaza Kills at Least Five Palestinians

HeadlineOct 05, 2026

In Gaza, an ​Israeli airstrike killed at least five Palestinians, including four women, in an apartment building in Gaza City early on Saturday. Since last October’s so-called ceasefire, 1,400 Palestinians have been ​killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza. This is Fouad al-Najjar, who lost his mother and grandmother in Israeli strikes.

Fouad al-Najjar: “The occupation doesn’t differentiate between a Christian and a Muslim. It targets Christians before Muslims in Gaza. All of us have lost martyrs, and we have wounded people. In almost every home, you will find someone who was either martyred or injured.”
