At least two Palestinians were injured early Friday in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a residential apartment in Gaza City, according to Anadolu as reported by Muslim Network TV on October 30. An Israeli helicopter fired at least one missile at an apartment in a residential building in the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood, north of Gaza City, causing minor injuries to two Palestinians, sources said.
In the central Gaza Strip, the Israeli army carried out extensive demolitions of houses in areas under its control east of Al-Masdar town, alongside heavy artillery shelling around the area, according to the same report. The casualties come as the Israeli military continues attacks in the Gaza Strip in what Palestinian officials describe as ongoing violations of a ceasefire in effect since October 2025.
Gaza health ministry counts 1,574 killed since ceasefire
Israeli violations of the Gaza ceasefire agreement have killed 1,574 Palestinians and wounded 5,687 others as of Thursday, according to the latest figures from Gaza’s Health Ministry cited in the October 30 report. Since October 2023, Israel’s war on Gaza has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians and injured over 175,000, while destroying around 90 percent of civilian infrastructure, according to the ministry’s cumulative figures cited in the report.
Those cumulative figures are disputed by Israel, which says its operations target Hamas and other armed groups, but they are the figures used by Gaza’s health authorities and widely cited by international agencies tracking the war. The Friday Sheikh Radwan strike, with only minor injuries reported, is small beside those totals, yet it matters because it shows the ceasefire is still being breached at street level.
Demolitions continue in central Gaza
The demolitions east of Al-Masdar, in areas under Israeli control, add to a pattern of house destruction that Palestinian officials say makes return impossible for displaced families even where fighting has eased. Heavy artillery shelling around the same area compounds the risk for anyone trying to return to check on a home.
For Gaza City residents, the Friday strike was a reminder that a ceasefire on paper has not meant safety in practice. Aid agencies have repeatedly warned that continued strikes and demolitions undermine any recovery, and that the toll of violations — 1,574 dead since the ceasefire began — is itself a continuing emergency, not a historical footnote.
