Israeli strikes have continued in Gaza on most days since the October 2025 ceasefire, and hospitals have reported small daily tolls throughout — including four killed last Thursday. Read last Thursday's report

Israeli strikes and gunfire killed four people in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, hospital authorities said, in the latest reported deaths under a ceasefire that has never fully stopped the shooting.

Three people were killed in two separate Israeli strikes in Gaza City, according to Shifa Hospital. In the southern city of Khan Younis, one person was shot dead after crossing the Yellow Line — the line marking the Israeli military's deployment zone inside Gaza — according to Nasser Hospital, the AP reported.

The Israeli military said it had struck militants in Gaza City, but did not immediately comment on the shooting in Khan Younis, according to the same AP report. The military's account of the Gaza City strikes and the hospitals' account of who was killed are both reported here as attributed claims; the AP said it could not independently verify all details.

A separate report of strikes in the north

In a separate report earlier on Tuesday, Iran's Press TV said one Palestinian man had died of wounds from an airstrike near the Abu Sharikh roundabout west of Jabalia, citing a medical source at al-Shifa Hospital, and that 17 others had been wounded in strikes including at al-Faluja in Jabalia and on al-Thalathini Street in Gaza City. Press TV is Iranian state media and its tally covers different incidents and an earlier part of the day; it may overlap with the hospital toll reported by the AP and is given here as a separately attributed account, not added to it.

A ceasefire that has not stopped the dying

The deaths came amid continued Israeli attacks in Gaza despite a ceasefire agreement that took effect in October 2025. A US-brokered reconstruction phase has stalled as negotiators fail to agree on terms for Hamas to disarm or for Israel to withdraw its troops, Reuters reported this week in Geneva — leaving displaced families in tents through a week in which heavy rain has already flooded tens of thousands of shelters across the Strip.

What happens next

US President Donald Trump's Board of Peace warned on Monday of an 'immediate humanitarian emergency' in Gaza after severe seasonal flooding, and blamed both Israel and Hamas for failing to honour commitments under the stalled peace process, Bloomberg reported. With winter rain worsening conditions in the tent camps and the disarmament-and-withdrawal argument unresolved, Tuesday's deaths underline the gap between a ceasefire on paper and safety on the ground.

For the lakhs of Punjabi and Indian workers in the Gulf, Gaza's toll is watched less as a distant story than as the region's central open wound — the file that decides whether the wider Middle East calms down or pulls neighbouring states back in. No expansion of the fighting beyond Gaza was reported on Tuesday.
