Israeli strike kills couple near Al-Shifa in Gaza City

GAZA CITY — A Palestinian man and his wife were killed early on Tuesday in an Israeli strike on a residential apartment near Al-Shifa Medical Complex in western Gaza City, according to medical sources cited by Anadolu. Several others were injured.

The sources named the victims as Akram Yassin and his wife, Dina Yassin. Al Jazeera Arabic reported the deaths in a post on Telegram, saying the couple were killed in the strike on the apartment in the early hours. The Telegram post was not confirmed by an official statement at the time of publication.

Separately, Israeli artillery shelled areas east of the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, according to Anadolu. There were no immediate reports of casualties from that shelling.

The attacks came amid continued Israeli violations of a ceasefire agreement in effect since October 2025, Anadolu reported.

On Monday, one Palestinian was killed and three others were injured in separate Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip, according to medical sources. An Israeli drone struck a gathering of civilians in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of western Gaza City, killing one man and wounding two others. Another Palestinian was injured when Israeli forces opened fire toward tents sheltering displaced people southwest of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

It was not immediately clear whether the Israeli military had issued a statement on the strike near Al-Shifa. The number of people injured in the Tuesday strike was not specified in the reports reviewed.
