Two Palestinians were killed in an Israeli drone strike in northern Gaza City on Saturday, according to Palestinian media and officials. The IDF said it targeted two terror operatives in the area, and the results of the strike were under review. The drone struck two Palestinians walking down a street in Jabalia, said Mohamed Abu Selmiya, director of Shifa Hospital. The casualties were taken to Shifa Hospital. Israeli airstrikes have continued in Gaza more than a year after a ceasefire deal was reached. The IDF says the strikes target terrorists posing a threat to troops or involved in Hamas's rearming efforts. Also on Saturday, the UAE strongly condemned an Israeli airstrike on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza on Thursday that targeted a senior Hamas commander and reportedly killed six people. The UAE Foreign Ministry called the strike a violation of international humanitarian law. The IDF said the strike targeted Muhammad Abu Ismail, commander of Hamas's Khan Younis Brigade, and other terrorists using the hospital as a military headquarters. There has been no confirmation of Abu Ismail's death. On Friday, the military said it had killed more than 10 terror operatives in Gaza over the past week, including some who participated in the October 7, 2023 attack. The IDF named three operatives, including two who infiltrated Israel on October 7. Implementation of US President Donald Trump's peace plan has stalled, with Hamas refusing to disarm. At least 1,600 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.
