Six Palestinians killed, 26 injured in Gaza over 48 hours, health ministry says

GAZA — Six Palestinians were killed and 26 others injured in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip over the past 48 hours, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, as reported by Quds News Network on Telegram on 31 October 2026.

The only source for this report is a short "Breaking" post published by Quds News Network on its Telegram channel. The post attributes the figures to the Health Ministry in Gaza. It describes the casualties as the result of "Israeli attacks across the enclave".

The post gives two figures: six dead and 26 injured. It says they cover the previous 48 hours. It does not say at what time that period began or ended.

What is not confirmed

Zenga News has not independently verified the figures. The Telegram post is unverified, and no statement from the Health Ministry itself was available in the source material. The figures are therefore presented here only as the ministry's numbers, as relayed by Quds News Network.

The post does not say where in Gaza the attacks took place. It does not give the names, ages or gender of the people killed or injured. It does not say whether those killed were civilians or whether any of them were members of armed groups. It also does not describe the type of attack, such as air strikes, shelling or gunfire.

The post does not include a response from the Israeli military or the Israeli government. Without that, there is no account in the source material of the circumstances of the incidents or the reasons given for them.

It is also unclear from the post whether the 26 injured include people who later died of their wounds. The post does not say whether the toll of six covers deaths that occurred during the 48-hour period only, or whether it includes bodies recovered during that time.

Background

Quds News Network is a Palestinian news outlet that publishes updates on Telegram and other platforms. The post in question was a brief alert and did not include a longer report, photographs or video.

Health Ministry figures from Gaza are widely cited in news coverage of the territory. In this case, the source material contains no earlier tallies or cumulative totals. It is therefore not possible to say how the 48-hour figures compare with earlier periods.

Zenga News will update this report if the Health Ministry, the Israeli military or other news outlets provide further details or confirmation.
