Israeli Forces Kill at Least Three Palestinians in Gaza

HeadlineOct 07, 2026

In Gaza, Israeli forces killed at least three Palestinians today. Among the dead is Nimr Barbakh, a 16-year-old child shot in the head by Israeli soldiers east of Khan Younis, and Mohammad Tammous, a Civil Defense rescue worker who died of wounds from an Israeli airstrike near Kamal Adwan Hospital. Israel has killed over 74,000 Palestinians in Gaza since Hamas’s surprise attack on Israel three years ago. Several governments, human rights organizations and scholarly bodies, including the International Association of Genocide Scholars, have accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza. According to the U.N., as of September, 94% of Gaza’s population remained in urgent need of shelter and basic household assistance, while 65% of households were living in tents or makeshift shelters.
