Israeli air strike hits motorcycle in Gaza, killing one and wounding a child
An Israeli missile struck a motorcycle in Gaza's Sheikh Radwan district, killing a Palestinian and leaving a child in critical condition.
On Friday, an Israeli missile hit a motorcycle in the Sheikh Radwan area of Gaza City, killing a Palestinian rider and wounding multiple people, among them a child now listed as critical. The incident adds to a series of strikes that have claimed at least 1,381 lives since the ceasefire announced in October 2025, according to Palestinian sources. In the same timeframe, Israeli troops fired into the Nuseirat and al-Bureij refugee camps, striking tents sheltering displaced residents and causing further casualties.
The report notes that a recent "double-tap" strike earlier in the week killed a paramedic and a 15-year-old schoolboy, with Israeli officials saying they were targeting Hamas operatives. Humanitarian agencies warn that Gaza's health system is on the brink of collapse as medical aid and fuel remain severely restricted.
Why it matters
The strike highlights the ongoing civilian toll of the Gaza conflict and the worsening humanitarian crisis.
