Summary

Israeli attacks across Gaza on Thursday 5 November 2026 killed several Palestinians, including a child and a woman, according to Palestinian and international reporting. Middle East Eye's live blog, citing the Palestinian news agency Wafa and medical sources, reported at least three deaths: a child killed by Israeli fire in the Bureij camp in central Gaza, a woman shot dead by Israeli forces in al-Mawasi in Khan Younis, and one person killed in an air strike west of al-Zawayda, with others wounded in an attack on a group of Palestinians in Deir el-Balah. Al Jazeera reported four people, including a child, killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza. Later Middle East Eye reporting, citing AFP and Gaza's civil defence agency, said a 12-year-old boy was shot dead east of Bureij and two more people were killed in separate strikes near al-Zawayda, and that three Palestinians were killed in an air strike on the al-Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City on Thursday evening. Al Jazeera said Gaza officials put the number of Palestinians killed since the so-called 'ceasefire' took effect at more than 1,600, and Middle East Eye cited Gaza's ministry of health as saying at least 74,618 Palestinians have been killed since October 2023.
