In the first three days of 2025, Israeli strikes killed at least 76 people across Gaza. The first of these attacks was on New Year’s Day when Israeli forces attacked Jabalia in northern Gaza, the Bureij refugee camp and Gaza City in central Gaza, and the southern city of Khan Younis killing 26 people, Al-Jazeera reported. The other airstrikes killed at least 50 people, including several children, across the Gaza Strip, hitting Hamas security officers and an Israeli-declared humanitarian zone, reports showed. This attack came in when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said he had authorised a delegation from the Mossad intelligence agency, the Shin Bet internal security agency and the military to continue negotiations in Qatar toward a ceasefire deal.
On the New Year’ Day attack, Gaza’s Health Ministry said four children and one woman were among the dead. At least 10 other Palestinians were missing and believed to be under the rubble. “Fifteen people were martyred and more than 20 were injured in a massacre after midnight in a house where displaced people were living in the town of Jabalia,” Al-Jazeera quoted Gaza civil defence agency’s spokesperson.
An overnight attack in the Bureij refugee camp killed a woman and a child, according to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, which received their bodies. In Gaza City's Shujaiya neighborhood, a strike on a residential home belonging to the al-Suweirki family killed six people, including two children and a woman, the civil defense reported. Another strike in Khan Younis killed three people, according to the Nasser Hospital and the European Hospital, which received the bodies.
The other attacks happened when the Israeli strike in the Muwasi seaside humanitarian zone occurred as hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians sought shelter from the cold winter weather, media reports showed. "Everyone was taking shelter in their tents from the cold, and suddenly we found the world turning upside down. Why, and for what?" said Ziyad Abu Jabal, who was displaced from Gaza City.
The early morning strike killed at least 10 people, including three children and two senior Hamas police officers. Israel's military stated that it targeted a senior police officer involved in gathering intelligence for Hamas' armed wing, which was used in attacks on Israeli forces, media reports said. Another Israeli strike in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza killed at least eight people, according to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. The victims were members of local committees that help secure aid convoys.
