Four Palestinians died on Wednesday in Gaza due to Israeli attacks, the Ministry of Health of the Palestinian enclave, dependent on Hamas, reported this Thursday in its daily bulletin, which includes the victims up to midnight the previous day.
A 17-year-old Palestinian boy identified as Zaher Shamia died this Wednesday after being shot by the Israeli Army in Jabalia, northern Gaza, after which a tank ran him over, EFE was assured by the Gazan Ministry of Health after examining half of the boy’s body, who arrived at the Al Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City.
Three more people died from Israeli fire in the Halawa displacement camp, north of the Strip, local journalists told EFE.

The Gazan Ministry of Health reported that hospitals in the Strip also received 10 injured people during yesterday’s day.
At least 383 people have died from Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip since the ceasefire came into effect on October 10, and at least 1,002 have been injured, according to Health in its daily bulletin.
Israel continues to control 54% of the Gaza Strip, after its troops withdrew to the so-called ‘yellow line’, where they continue to fire almost daily at Palestinians who the Army alleges are getting too close.
A large part of the Gazan population is unaware of the demarcations and approaches this new border trying to return to their homes or in search of food.
In addition, the Civil Defense rescue teams have recovered 627 bodies – in their most updated count – without life among the tons of rubble of a devastated Strip, in which more than 80% of its buildings have been completely destroyed or damaged.
The Palestinian authorities insist that there are still thousands of bodies trapped among the ruins and that rescue efforts are limited, due to a lack of resources such as heavy machinery and fuel.
In total, since Israel began its offensive in Gaza in retaliation for Hamas’ attacks in October 2023, a total of 70,373 Palestinians have died in Israeli attacks and 171,079 have been injured, many with amputations and lifelong injuries.
