Eight Palestinians, including a child, were killed on Sunday by Israeli bombing and shooting in various areas of the Gaza Strip, including two Palestinians who died from injuries in previous Israeli attacks, according to medical sources and eyewitnesses told Anadolu.

This comes amid ongoing Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement in the strip, in effect since October 10, 2025.

In the latest attacks, 4 Palestinians were killed and others injured in an Israeli bombing targeting a building in the Sabra neighborhood south of Gaza City.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said in a statement that its Al-Quds Hospital teams dealt with 'two martyrs and an injured person due to an Israeli raid' targeting the area.

Medical sources reported the arrival of two other Palestinian bodies at Al-Shifa Hospital from the same location, raising the death toll from the bombing to 4.

Eyewitnesses told Anadolu that an Israeli drone fired at least 3 missiles at a building in Haret al-Reis in the Sabra neighborhood, resulting in deaths and injuries.

The witnesses added that Israeli warplanes launched additional raids on the area after issuing warnings to evacuate the residential block surrounding the targeted site.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that the bombing also injured two Palestinians, and a fire broke out at the scene, which firefighting crews worked to extinguish.

The bombing also completely destroyed the targeted building and caused extensive damage to neighboring homes and facilities, according to eyewitnesses.

Earlier on Sunday, a medical source told Anadolu that the child Tala Jumaa Abu Matar (9 years old) was killed from serious wounds she sustained from Israeli army gunfire in the Ain Jalut Towers area of the Nuseirat camp in the central strip.

In a related context, a medical source at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, central strip, told Anadolu that Palestinian Mahmoud Muhammad Masleh died from his wounds after being shot by the Israeli army on Friday east of the Bureij camp.

A medical source at the Nasser Medical Complex also reported the death of Palestinian Muhammad Abu Snida from wounds he sustained on Saturday in a raid by an Israeli drone near the Bani Suheila roundabout east of Khan Younis in the southern strip.

Later, teams from the Kuwait Specialized Field Hospital recovered the body of a Palestinian and provided treatment to five wounded, including children, following an Israeli bombing that targeted displaced persons' tents in the Al-Qadisiyah camp in the Mawasi area of Khan Younis.

On Sunday dawn, the Israeli army blew up Palestinian homes and facilities in areas under its control south of Khan Younis city and east of Gaza City.

Local sources and eyewitnesses told Anadolu that the Israeli army carried out at least 5 demolition operations south of Khan Younis, along with another operation east of Gaza City.

The witnesses explained that huge explosions were heard in various parts of the strip from the demolition operations, with no casualties recorded according to medical sources.

According to data from the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip, Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement since last October until Saturday have resulted in the deaths of 1,098 Palestinians and injuries to 3,535 others.
