Israeli drone strikes on Saturday, November 8 killed at least six Palestinians across the Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian medical and rescue workers, as attacks continue despite a ceasefire that has now been in place for a year.
The strikes hit areas in northern, central and southern Gaza, with one of the deaths recorded near the Jabalia refugee camp.
Citing medical sources, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that a Palestinian man was killed and several others wounded when an Israeli drone targeted a group of civilians near the al-Faluja cemetery, west of Jabalia.
The same day, one Palestinian was killed and several others injured when an Israeli drone struck the al-Mawasi area of Rafah, Wafa said.
Earlier, according to staff at al-Shifa Hospital, two people were killed and several wounded in a strike on the Tuffah neighbourhood, northeast of Gaza City. Witnesses told Al Jazeera that those targeted were returning from the funeral of a victim of an earlier attack.
Al-Shifa Hospital also reported that one person was killed in a drone strike east of Gaza City.
In central Gaza, staff at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital said one person was killed and another wounded in Deir el-Balah.
In an update released on November 8, the Gaza Ministry of Health said 1,511 Palestinians had been killed and 5,375 wounded since the US-brokered ceasefire was announced on October 10, 2025.
In its report on the preceding 48 hours, the ministry recorded six deaths and 43 injuries across the Gaza Strip.
According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, a total of 74,469 Palestinians have been killed and 175,492 wounded since Israel's war began in October 2023.
On November 7, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) highlighted the continuing toll on children. Speaking to reporters in Geneva, spokesperson Ricardo Pires said more than 340 children had been killed since the ceasefire took effect.
Pires said seven children had died in attacks over the previous two weeks, while at least 33 others were seriously injured.
UNICEF estimates that around 800,000 children remain displaced, many of them living in tents or unsafe buildings as winter approaches.
The violence comes as people in Gaza face increasingly tight restrictions on where they can live. A map published by Al Jazeera on October 12 showed Israeli forces controlling or restricting access to about 65 percent of the territory.
According to the report, the "Yellow Line" — originally set up to mark Israeli military positions after a partial withdrawal under the ceasefire deal — has been pushed deeper into Palestinian areas. The remaining accessible area is home to 2.1 million people.
On November 7, the Gaza Ministry of Health warned that more than 1.4 million Palestinians are expected to face crisis-level or worse food insecurity for the rest of the year.
