Overview
- UN Women, which released its report Friday, said more than 38,000 women and girls were killed from October 2023 through December 2025, an average of at least 47 deaths per day.
- Israeli fire killed four Palestinians in Gaza on Thursday, including two al-Attar brothers in Beit Lahiya, a nine-year-old in Gaza City’s Zeitoun area, and Mohsen al-Dabbari south of Khan Younis, according to local medics and civil defense officials.
- Further killings were reported Friday in Gaza City’s Shujayea district, where two Abu Warda brothers were shot dead while transporting water, and a separate drone strike on a desalination site killed another person, according to medical sources and Wafa.
- The Israeli army said it struck two people it viewed as an imminent threat after they crossed the “yellow line,” a buffer marking the military’s withdrawal line inside Gaza, as Gaza’s Health Ministry reports more than 750 Palestinians killed since the October 10, 2025 ceasefire.
- UN agencies warned of deepening harm to civilians, with UNICEF citing at least 214 children killed in the six months since the truce, WHO estimating over 500,000 women lack essential care, and UN Women noting nearly one million women and girls displaced, while reports also described settler arson and Israeli raids with arrests in the occupied West Bank.
