Four Palestinians, including a woman, were killed and 14 others injured across the Gaza Strip during military attacks on August 10, 2026. Strikes and shelling hit neighborhoods in Gaza City, Rafah, and Khan Yunis, pushing cumulative figures past 74,000 deaths since the conflict began in October 2023.
Gaza City Strikes and Casualties Reported by Medical Sources
A drone attack in the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood targeted a civilian vehicle, killing two individuals and wounding three others, with one victim sustaining severe injuries. In the Sabra neighborhood, another strike resulted in the death of a child and left several others injured.
Artillery fire also struck a tent in the Mashrou Amer area northwest of Gaza City. Hospital staff received the body of 30-year-old Ahlam Mubarak, alongside her husband and two children who sustained injuries, with the husband’s condition described as critical. Nearby, a strike on a displaced persons tent in the Al-Tawam area killed a man named Mohammed Rajab Warsh Agha and injured another person.
Southern Gaza Operations and Destruction in Khan Yunis and Rafah
Operations in the southern part of the territory added to the casualty count as artillery fire hit a home in the al-Mawasi area, northwest of Rafah, injuring seven people. In Khan Yunis, military forces carried out demolitions of residential buildings in northeastern sectors while heavy gunfire targeted surrounding residential areas. Eyewitnesses reported that smoke grenades deployed near the Bani Suheila roundabout set fire to multiple tents housing displaced families.
Concurrently, naval vessels opened fire off the coast of Gaza City, while renewed artillery bombardment struck the al-Sudaniya area in the northwest. Officials confirmed that an earlier strike in Gaza City claimed the life of Ahmed Khamis Abu Najeh, who succumbed to injuries sustained a week prior.
Casualties Surpass Seventy Four Thousand as Military Operations Target Commanders
Since the broader military campaign started in October 2023, overall fatalities have surpassed 74,000, accompanied by over 175,000 injuries and widespread structural damage affecting approximately 90% of the enclave’s infrastructure.
Military authorities reported that recent operations targeted and eliminated a commander and another operative within Hamas, alleging that one of the individuals was involved in holding captives inside the territory.
