Story summary

On November 2, 2026, Israeli forces killed at least four and wounded several more in attacks across the Gaza Strip, according to medical sources. By November 3, a fifth person died of wounds sustained on the previous day, raising the death toll from these strikes to five. The casualties included three people killed by airstrikes in Khan Younis and another in Al-Mussadar; one additional fatality occurred when an Israeli strike hit a vehicle in Gaza City’s Tal al-Hawa neighborhood.

The Israeli military claimed it targeted Palestinian militants but did not provide specifics about the attacks or casualty numbers. In response to these strikes, which Israel alleges are in retaliation for Hamas rearming and violating a 2025 US-brokered ceasefire, there has been little progress in negotiations aimed at establishing terms for both Hamas's disarmament and Israel’s troop withdrawal from areas under its control in Gaza.

Nearly all of the over 2 million residents live among war ruins in just one-third of the enclave, as Israeli forces still occupy about two-thirds of Gaza following orders to evacuate residents.
