Zionist ‘israeli’ strike on motorcycle kills Palestinian in Gaza City, injures several others including child

A Palestinian was killed and several others were injured, including a child in critical condition, after Israeli forces bombed a motorcycle in Gaza City.

A motorcycle was targeted on Friday in the al-Taqwa refugee camp in Sheikh Radwan, west of Gaza City.

The body of the slain Palestinian, identified as Hudhaifa Awad, and those injured were taken to al-Shifa Hospital.

On Friday, Israeli forces opened fire in the Nuseirat and al-Bureij refugee camps in central Gaza, reportedly injuring several displaced Palestinians.

The attacks struck areas where Palestinians displaced by Israel’s ongoing assault had sought refuge.

Earlier this week, an Israeli “double-tap” airstrike killed a paramedic and a 15-year-old student in Gaza City.

On Wednesday, a previously damaged residential building collapsed in Gaza City, killing at least 21 Palestinians, including 12 children, and injuring dozens more.

Palestinian rescuers faced difficulties recovering victims from beneath the rubble amid a severe shortage of heavy equipment, attributed to Israeli restrictions on its entry into Gaza.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported last week that Israeli airstrikes and other attacks continued to strike populated areas of Gaza, resulting in civilian casualties, property damage and additional displacement.

OCHA added that ongoing shortages of essential medical supplies were hampering the treatment of communicable and non-communicable diseases, while access to water and sanitation services remained unreliable.

OCHA said approximately 2.1 million Palestinians in Gaza remained displaced and concentrated in less than 40 percent of the enclave, where overcrowding and poor shelter conditions were raising disease risks ahead of the rainy season.

UNICEF said earlier this month that four children, aged between two and 16, were killed in separate Israeli attacks, while five others sustained life-changing injuries in strikes and live-fire incidents.

The UN agency said Israeli strikes had also destroyed nutrition supplies valued at more than $770,000, intended for over 45,000 children, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers.

Ongoing Israeli strikes on the besieged enclave have killed at least 1,381 Palestinians since the ceasefire was announced in October 2025.

According to the latest figures from Gaza’s Health Ministry, at least 73,795 Palestinians have been killed and 174,869 wounded in Israeli attacks since the war began on October 7, 2023.
