Israeli drone strike kills Palestinian on rooftop of his home in Gaza

Medical sources say Palestinian man was targeted while filling water on rooftop of his house

A Palestinian was killed and several others injured Wednesday in an Israeli drone strike targeting the rooftop of a house in western Gaza City, in a new violation of the ceasefire agreement. Medical sources told Anadolu that Hani al-Khudari, 44, was killed after being targeted on the rooftop of his home near Sheikh Radwan Cemetery in western Gaza City. His body was taken to Al-Shifa Hospital. Witnesses told Anadolu that Khudari was on the rooftop filling water when an Israeli drone struck him with a missile, killing him. The medical sources added that several injured people were taken to the hospital following the strike, but no precise casualty toll or information about the extent of damage was available. The attack comes amid continued Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement, which took effect on Oct. 10, 2025. Such violations have killed 1,614 Palestinians and injured 5,849 others. Since October 2023, Israel’s war on Gaza has killed more than 74,600 Palestinians and wounded nearly 176,000 others, mostly women and children, while destroying around 90% of the territory’s infrastructure.
