Summary

An Israeli airstrike struck an apartment building in the Remal neighborhood of Gaza City early on October 3, 2026, killing five people according to multiple reports. Among the dead were Maysa Abu Daoud and her daughter Mary al-Najjar, both members of Gaza's Christian community who had been sheltering at Holy Family Catholic Church. Three other people were also killed in the strike. Israel stated it was targeting Ali al-Amoudi, a senior Hamas leader, and claimed to have taken steps to minimize civilian harm. Hamas denies Israeli accusations that it has violated the ceasefire agreement brokered by the United States in October 2025, and accuses Israel of undermining the peace deal. The strike caused a large fire and destroyed the apartment building. Religious leaders including Pope Leo XIV, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, and the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem issued statements mourning the victims and calling for an end to the conflict.
