The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) killed 18 Palestinians, including a woman and a child, in separate attacks across the Gaza Strip between 10 and 14 October 2026. The attacks targeted a residential apartment, a civilian vehicle, and gatherings of people, while several Palestinians succumbed to injuries sustained in previous attacks.
The IOF continued to target the remaining residential homes and expand the Yellow Zone into additional areas, forcibly displacing hundreds of Palestinians from their homes. Meanwhile, approximately two million Palestinians are living in worn-out tents and makeshift shelters that lack the basic necessities for protection and a dignified life, within an area accounting for no more than 30 per cent of the Gaza Strip’s territory.
The most significant attacks documented by PCHR’s field researchers were as follows:

The strike injured two people, including Jaber, whose condition was reported as critical. He remained in the intensive care unit until his death was announced.
At approximately 20:05 on Sunday, 11 October 2026, an Israeli drone targeted a charging point in the southern al-Buraq area, southwest of Khan Younis. The attack killed ‘Abdel Hamid Mustafa ‘Ali Jadallah (28), Yousif Mohammed Shehdah Abu Rezeq (31), and Mohammed Ramzi ‘Ali Abu Hajjaj (24), and injured ten others, who were transferred to Nasser Medical Complex.

At approximately 17:00 on Saturday, 10 October 2026, an Israeli drone fired two missiles at a Palestinian riding a motorcycle near ‘Abdeen Wedding Hall on Salah al-Deen Street, east of al-Nusseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip. The strike killed Wajdi Ibrahim Hussein al-Sous (30) and injured two others, including a child. Both injured individuals were transferred to al-‘Awda Hospital in the same camp for treatment.
At approximately 12:35 on the same day, an Israeli drone fired a missile at a gathering of people near Panda Mall in the al-Rimal neighborhood, west of Gaza City, killing four Palestinians: Moath Mazen Hamzah Hassounah (28), ‘Alaa’ Saber Khalil Abu ‘Amer (36), Ahmed Hussein Maqboul Abu ‘Amrah (22), and Mohammed Riyadh Khader Irheem (26). The attack also injured six others, all of whom were transferred to al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City for treatment.
At approximately 12:05 on Saturday, 10 October 2026, an Israeli drone fired a missile at people gathered near al-Mahatta Mosque on Yafa Street in al-Tuffah neighborhood, Gaza City, killing Mohammed Walid Saadi al-Nakhalah (44) and injuring five others, one of whom sustained critically serious injuries.
Later that afternoon, medical sources announced the death of Mousa ‘Atef Mousa Abu Dan (37), who succumbed to critical injuries sustained on the evening of Friday, 9 October 2026, when the IOF targeted his tent in Watan Camp, behind the Kuwait Specialized Hospital in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis. The attack also injured eight people.
At approximately 19:00 on Saturday, 10 October 2026, IOF stationed inside with the Yellow Zone opened fire towards areas west of the Yellow Line on al-Laymun Street, near Well No. (19), in al-Mawasi, southwest of Khan Younis. The shooting injured two women, who were transferred to the Red Cross Field Hospital in al-Mawasi, Rafah, for treatment.
Meanwhile, the IOF continued to target residential homes and issue evacuation orders that force residents to flee before their areas are bombed. On Saturday evening, 10 October 2026, the IOF issued evacuation orders for residential blocks in al-Rimal neighborhood, Gaza City; the area surrounding ‘Aisha Mosque near al-Tawam Roundabout, west of Jabalia; the Abu Dahrouj Street area, southeast of al-Zawayda; and the vicinity of al-Ramlah Elementary School for Girls and al-Zahra Bus Station near al-Shuja’iya intersection in Gaza City. The evacuation orders were followed by airstrikes targeting residential homes, which completely destroyed homes belonging to Farah, Hassan, al-Buhaisi, and Abu Shammalah families, severely damaged nearby homes and tents, and injured several civilians in al-Rimal neighborhood. The unlawful evacuation orders forced residents to flee the targeted areas amid fears of bombardment, forcing families to leave their homes and belongings and join the hundreds of thousands already displaced.
The ongoing killing of civilians, the targeting of homes, and the expansion of the Yellow Line are imposing a coercive reality on the population and increasing the number of displaced people who have lost their homes and life necessities. PCHR stresses the urgent imperative to halt Israeli attacks, protect civilians and their property, ensure that evacuation orders are not used as a means of forcibly displacing the population, and hold those responsible for violations against the Palestinian population accountable.
