According to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), ambulance crews transferred the bodies of the two victims and four injured people to Al-Quds Hospital following two separate strikes.

Death Toll Rises

Earlier on Tuesday, the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said the death toll from Israel’s genocidal war had risen to 73,102 Palestinians, with 173,581 others wounded since October 7, 2023.

According to the Health Ministry, hospitals received the bodies of four Palestinians and treated 11 wounded over the previous 24 hours.

The ministry added that since the ceasefire came into effect on October 11, 2025, Israeli attacks have killed 1,076 Palestinians, wounded 3,474 others, and 799 bodies have been recovered.

Health authorities also said an unknown number of victims remain trapped beneath the rubble or in areas inaccessible to ambulance and civil defense crews.

More than 10,000 Palestinians remain missing and are believed to be trapped under the rubble, while nearly two million people have been forcibly displaced since the start of the war, according to Palestinian authorities.
