GAZA, November 13, 2026 (WAFA) – Six Palestinians were killed and around 20 others injured on Friday in Israeli shelling to the east of Deir al-Balah in the genocide-stricken Gaza Strip, according to WAFA correspondent.

She reported that Israeli artillery shelled the vicinity of Al-Qastal Towers residential complex, claiming the lives of three Palestinians, including a child and a woman, and injuring around 20 others.

The wounded were transferred to the Martyrs of Al-Aqsa Hospital in the city.

She added that Israeli artillery also shelled the eastern areas of Gaza City.

Israel has waged a military onslaught on the Strip since 7 October 2023, killing 74,653 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 176,007 others. It has destroyed 90% of the Strip’s infrastructure, with the cost of Gaza reconstruction estimated at $70 billion.

Since the Gaza ceasefire agreement went into effect on October 11, 2025, Israel has killed 1,622 Palestinians and injured 5,878 others. The bodies of at least 850 slain Palestinians have been recovered during the same period.

The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
