Four Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza on Monday, according to medical sources and media reports, and a fifth person succumbed to wounds from an earlier assault.
Medical sources said at least two people died in separate strikes in southern Khan Younis, while a third was killed in a drone attack in the central al-Musaddar area.
Deaths in Khan Younis, al-Musaddar and Gaza City
A fourth person was killed when an Israeli strike hit a vehicle in the Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood of Gaza City, a Palestinian news agency reported. The agency named the victim as Hani Hamed Kahil and said five others were wounded.

The same agency said Youssef Abu Younis had died from injuries sustained in an Israeli strike on Sunday, which brought the number of deaths reported on Monday to five.
The Israeli military said it had targeted Palestinian fighters in three strikes but gave no further details. Separately, three people were wounded on Monday when a minibus belonging to a community kitchen was hit in Zeitoun.
Toll keeps rising under US-brokered truce
The deaths add to a toll that has continued to climb despite a United States-brokered ceasefire that took effect in October 2025. Figures from the Palestinian Ministry of Health indicate that Israeli attacks have killed at least 1,593 Palestinians since that truce began and wounded 5,748 others.
Across the whole war, the figures cited in the report put the overall toll at at least 74,609 Palestinians killed and 175,872 wounded.
Shelter efforts intensify ahead of winter
The latest violence came as efforts continued to secure shelter for displaced Palestinians before winter. Israeli Army Radio reported that Nickolay Mladenov, high representative of the Board of Peace, arrived in Israel on Monday to seek permission to bring in tents and push for faster reconstruction. The Board of Peace was established by the United States to oversee a so-called peace plan in Gaza.
The United Nations migration agency said on October 9 that nearly 2 million people needed shelter assistance and that half of Gaza’s tents and makeshift shelters needed replacing, leaving families exposed as winter approached.
