Gaza City strike kills five Four women among the dead

Oct 3

Goodman reports that a Saturday Israeli strike on a Gaza City apartment killed five Palestinians, including four women, and cites more than 1,400 deaths since the October 2025 ceasefire. Fouad Al-Najjar says he lost his mother and grandmother and describes the victims as civilians, emphasizing that Christians and Muslims alike suffer. The cumulative ceasefire toll is separate from this strike's reported five deaths.

Democracy Now reports an October 3 Israeli strike on a Gaza City apartment killing five Palestinians, including four women. Fouad Al-Najjar says his mother and grandmother died and describes the victims as civilians. Oman TV's October 3 account describes an apartment west of Gaza City, seven killed including four women, injuries and continuing rubble searches. These are differing source tolls for the same identified strike, not totals to add or an independently reconciled final count. Democracy Now's cumulative count since the October 2025 ceasefire concerns a separate time window.
