**Deck**: Reports from Gaza say an Israeli drone strike on a vehicle in Tel al‑Hawa killed Fuad al‑Gula, a 17‑year‑old was shot dead in Jabalia, and Ahmed Baraka died after an airstrike near Khan Yunis, contributing to a post‑ceasefire toll of 1,538 dead and 5,498 wounded since October 11, 2025.

Fresh violence in Gaza is adding to a casualty toll that has continued to climb even after a ceasefire formally took effect in 2025.

In the northern Gaza Strip, reports say an Israeli drone struck a vehicle in Tel al‑Hawa, killing Fuad al‑Gula. In Jabalia, 17‑year‑old Rafif Raed Labad was reported shot and killed. Further south, an airstrike near Khan Yunis left three people wounded; one of them, Ahmed Baraka, died shortly afterward.

These incidents come against the backdrop of a ceasefire that has been in force since 11 October 2025. Despite that agreement, 1,538 people have been killed and 5,498 wounded during the period covered by the latest figures from Gaza.

The strike on the vehicle in Tel al‑Hawa was carried out by an Israeli drone, according to local reporting. Footage from the scene showed secondary explosions in the vehicle after it was hit, indicating that something inside ignited or detonated following the initial impact.

The continued deaths since the ceasefire highlight how targeted strikes, shootings and localized clashes remain a feature of daily life, particularly in crowded areas such as Jabalia and urban neighborhoods like Tel al‑Hawa.

Medical staff in Gaza have also warned of growing strain on hospitals as fuel for generators runs low, affecting their ability to keep operating rooms and intensive care units functioning. When power is unreliable, injuries that might otherwise be survivable can become far more dangerous.

The next developments to watch include any change in the tempo of drone strikes and air operations, public statements from Israeli authorities on the Tel al‑Hawa and Khan Yunis attacks, and whether the casualty figures since October 2025 continue to climb at a similar pace or begin to slow.

If hospitals’ fuel supplies are exhausted or services are scaled back, any new incident of this kind is likely to result in higher fatalities than the raw blast or bullet wounds would suggest on their own.
