The Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that Israeli forces opened live fire on a group of Palestinians east of the Al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip on October 10, resulting in eight injuries. Medical sources detailed that those wounded included a pregnant woman along with seven other civilians. WAFA noted the incident occurred near the Al-Maghazi area as well, with the injured transferred to nearby hospitals for treatment.
Gaza’s Health Ministry has recorded the injuries as part of a series of similar events in recent days, according to updates published by WAFA on October 11. The ministry’s data places the total number of Palestinians injured in the territory since the ceasefire took effect on October 11, 2025, at 5,281. That figure forms part of a broader toll that the ministry lists as 74,377 killed and 175,398 injured across the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023.
Separate reporting from Arab News on October 9 described a comparable shooting incident in the same central Gaza zone east of Al-Maghazi and Al-Bureij, where local sources said one Palestinian was killed by a shot to the neck and several others sustained injuries. Gaza’s civil defence service attributed that Friday event to Israeli forces stationed along the perimeter, according to the Arab News dispatch. The civil defence service also documented seven fatalities from Israeli strikes the previous day across Gaza City and other areas.
WAFA’s October 11 summary of the health ministry’s daily report indicated that seven Palestinians, including one who died of earlier wounds, were killed in the preceding 24 hours while 28 others were injured and admitted to hospitals. The ministry’s assessment found that 1,488 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire began, a period that has seen continued restrictions on medical supplies entering the territory. Hospital officials have repeatedly cited those constraints as a factor complicating treatment for gunshot victims and other casualties.
The ceasefire agreement that halted major operations in October 2025 has faced repeated violations, according to multiple accounts compiled by WAFA from local correspondents. Israeli forces have maintained positions along the perimeter of the Gaza Strip, where such shooting incidents have become frequent, the agency reported. Medical sources have called for greater access to care for the growing number of wounded civilians, a plea echoed in updates from hospitals in Deir al-Balah and Gaza City.
