Summary

An Israeli airstrike struck the al-Asala building in the Remal neighbourhood of western Gaza City early on October 3, 2026, killing at least five people and severely wounding at least six others. The attack occurred without prior warning in the middle of the night when residents were asleep. Among the dead were four women, including an elderly Christian woman and her daughter. Report 1 identifies the fifth fatality as a young girl, while other reports do not specify the identity of the fifth victim. The strike penetrated the targeted apartment and caused damage throughout the multi-storey building, triggering fires that burned for approximately an hour before Palestinian Civil Defence crews extinguished them. The six wounded were treated at al-Shifa Hospital. Israeli drones were reported flying over the area during and after the attack. The incident occurred amid ongoing Israeli military operations in Gaza following a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas that began in October 2025.
