**Deck**: Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip on Sunday morning killed four people and wounded several others, in attacks reported near the Islamic University in Gaza City, east of Deir al‑Balah and along the Al‑Rashid coastal road.

A series of Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip on Sunday morning left four people dead and several others wounded, with reported hits near the Islamic University in Gaza City, in the Al‑Mazra’a area east of Deir al‑Balah, and along the Al‑Rashid coastal road.

Local reporting described four separate strikes since the morning hours of October 25. Near the Islamic University in Gaza City, an attack caused multiple casualties, with several people said to be in serious condition. Emergency and medical services in the city had to absorb another influx of wounded in an area that includes educational facilities and dense urban neighborhoods. Details on the identities of those killed or injured in that particular strike were not immediately clear.

In the central Gaza Strip, an Israeli unmanned aerial vehicle struck the Al‑Mazra’a area east of Deir al‑Balah. That strike killed Hamdan Salman Abu Amra and wounded others nearby, according to local sources. Deir al‑Balah has been a destination for displaced families as well as a location hit by previous bombardment.

Another UAV strike was reported on Al‑Rashid Street, the coastal road that functions as one of Gaza’s main north‑south routes. One person was killed there and several were wounded, some seriously. The road is a key channel for movement inside the enclave, including ambulances and supply vehicles.

Separately, an Israeli UAV attack was reported on a Hamas police security post in the area of the Islamic University in Gaza City. The post was described as the same one that had been hit in a previous operation. The strike underlined how locations associated with Hamas’s internal security structures are situated close to civilian institutions and daily traffic.

For residents, the combination of strikes near a university, along a major roadway and in farming areas around Deir al‑Balah shrinks the number of places that feel safe. Daily routines such as commuting to work, attending classes or transporting goods have to be planned with the possibility of sudden air or drone attacks in mind.

From an operational perspective, the pattern of attacks points to continued use of UAVs and airpower against specific sites and individuals, rather than large ground movements. Hitting a police post, areas on a central road and outskirts around Deir al‑Balah shapes how armed groups and civilians can move within the Strip.

Developments to watch include updated casualty lists and damage reports from Gaza’s health and civil authorities, and any official statements from Israel that clarify who or what it intended to target in these particular strikes and how operations along key routes such as Al‑Rashid Street may evolve.
