Summary

An Israeli airstrike struck a residential apartment building in western Gaza City on October 3, 2026, killing at least five Palestinians according to health officials. The deceased included four women, among them two identified Christian women: Maysaa Khader Ibrahim Abu Dawoud and Mary Hafez Michel al-Najjar, who had been sheltering at Holy Family Catholic Church before moving into the apartment. Some reports indicate the victims also included a mother and daughter. Israel stated the strike targeted Ali al-Amoudi, described as a top Hamas leader, and claimed to have taken steps to minimize civilian casualties. The airstrike destroyed the apartment building, sparked a large fire, and severely wounded several others. The incident occurred on the anniversary of the October 7, 2023 attack. Religious leaders including the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem and Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa expressed condolences. The strike reflects ongoing tensions following a US-brokered ceasefire from October 2025, with Israel accusing Hamas of rearming and Hamas denying the allegations.
