Israeli strikes on Gaza kill at least 7

Israeli forces carried out multiple attacks on the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, killing at least seven people, including one child, according to Palestinian media.

In one of the incidents, an Israeli drone struck a civilian vehicle in Gaza City, killing three people. Among the deceased was Mohammed al-Wahidi, the public relations director of the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza, an Egyptian organization that assists Gazans, a source confirmed.

Separately, an Israeli drone targeted a tent sheltering displaced families near the port of Gaza City, resulting in one fatality. Earlier in the day, the Israeli military conducted a series of airstrikes in the Khan Younis area of southern Gaza, which killed three more individuals.

Footage captured by a China Global Television Network (CGTN) stringer showed that wounded Palestinians being rushed to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis for treatment after Israeli strikes.

The latest figure from the Gaza Strip's health department showed that since the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement took effect on October 10, 2025, Israeli military operations in the enclave have resulted in 1,072 deaths and 3,463 injuries.

Explosions in central Damascus on Tuesday killed one and injured 36 during French President Emmanuel Macron's visit, according to Syria's Interior Ministry.

Authorities told state-run SANA that security forces detected two improvised explosive devices during field operations. The bombs exploded as preparations were underway to defuse them.

A preliminary investigation found that one device had been hidden in a parked vehicle and the other in a roadside garbage container near the tourism authority building. The investigation is ongoing.

According to French media citing sources from the French presidential palace, the incident occurred near the hotel where visiting French President Emmanuel Macron was staying.

The French presidential palace stated on Tuesday that Macron had already left his hotel and was at the Syrian presidential palace preparing for talks with interim Syrian leader Ahmad al-Sharaa when the explosion occurred.
