A total of 1,445 Palestinians have been killed and 5,072 injured in Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip since a ceasefire went into effect on Oct. 10, 2025, Gaza’s Health Ministry said Saturday.

In a written statement, the ministry shared the latest casualty figures from Israel’s attacks on Gaza since October 2023.

The ministry said the bodies of seven people and 20 wounded people were brought to hospitals in the past 48 hours as Israel continued attacks despite the ceasefire.

It said four of those who died were killed in new attacks, two died from wounds they had previously sustained and one body was recovered from the rubble.

Since the ceasefire went into effect, bodies of 835 people previously trapped under rubble have been recovered, the ministry said.

The total death toll since Israel’s attacks on the Gaza Strip began in October 2023 has reached 74,228, while the number of injured has risen to 175,188, according to the ministry.

Thousands of bodies are still believed to remain under rubble across the Gaza Strip.

5 Palestinians killed in Gaza City strike

The Israeli army killed five Palestinians and wounded six others in the Gaza Strip on Saturday amid continuing violations of the ceasefire.

Four women, including two Christians, and a young man were among those killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a residential apartment in western Gaza City, a medical source at Al-Shifa Hospital told Anadolu.

Local sources and eyewitnesses said Israeli warplanes fired at least two missiles at an apartment in the Asala residential building early Saturday, destroying the targeted unit and causing extensive damage to neighboring homes.

A fire also broke out after the bombardment.

Local sources said the Israeli army also carried out a demolition operation targeting buildings and facilities in areas under its control east of the Tuffah neighborhood in northeastern Gaza City.

Shelling reported in southern, central Gaza

In the southern Gaza Strip, Israeli artillery carried out intense shelling of areas south and east of Khan Younis and north of Rafah, accompanied by heavy gunfire, according to eyewitnesses.

In central Gaza, Israeli military vehicles opened heavy fire on areas east of the Bureij refugee camp.

As of Thursday, Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement had killed at least 1,439 Palestinians and injured 5,052 others, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

Since October 2023, Israel has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians and injured over 175,000 in the Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian figures, while around 90% of the territory’s infrastructure has been destroyed.
