At least 11 Palestinians, including two children and three journalists, have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since dawn, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health. The ministry said six other people were injured in strikes across the territory.
The three journalists, identified as Anas Ghunaim, Abdul Ra’ouf and Shaath Mohammad Qeshta, were killed when their vehicle was hit in central Gaza near the Netzarim Corridor. Munir al-Bursh, director general of the Gaza health ministry, said they were working for the Egyptian Committee for Gaza Relief and were documenting a newly established displacement camp.
Mohammed Mansour, a spokesman for the committee, told the Associated Press that the vehicle was known to the Israeli military and was about five kilometres from Israeli-controlled territory. Israeli Army Radio, citing a security source, said the Israeli air force targeted the vehicle, alleging its occupants were using a drone to gather intelligence.

In separate incidents, three members of one family, including a child, were killed in eastern Deir el-Balah, while a 13-year-old boy and a 32-year-old woman were shot dead in southern Gaza, according to hospital sources and Al Jazeera teams on the ground. Palestinian officials said Israel has repeatedly violated a United States-brokered ceasefire that took effect on October 10, as restrictions on aid into Gaza continue.
