Israel continues to attack Gaza amid regional war, killing scores of Palestinians | Israel-Palestine conflict news

Three people were killed in a separate attack in Gaza City as the Rafah border reopened for limited medical evacuations.

At least three Palestinians have been killed in Israeli drone strikes in war-torn Gaza, nearly two and a half years into Israel’s genocidal war on the enclave, with severely limited medical evacuations resuming through the Rafah border crossing.

Doctors at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City said two people were killed in a drone strike in the Zeytown neighborhood in the eastern part of Gaza City.

In a separate attack, one person was killed and another was injured when a drone struck a group of people in another area of ​​eastern Gaza City known as the “Yellow Line”. An unspecified number of Palestinians were injured in Thursday’s attack.

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed more than 72,000 people, dozens of them children and women. Some independent researchers believe the actual number of those killed is significantly higher.

A limited group of wounded Palestinians were evacuated from Gaza through the Rafah crossing with Egypt after a 19-day shutdown by Israel since it began bombing Iran.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said eight Palestinians and 17 members of their families wounded in Israeli strikes during the Gaza war would be allowed into Egypt for medical treatment, which reopened Thursday after being seen as a lifeline for Palestinians.

Several ambulances were seen waiting to evacuate patients from the area.

Israel has blocked medical evacuations and prevented Palestinians from returning home since reopening the crossing in early February as part of an October 2025 ceasefire agreement – which it has violated daily.
