Israeli attacks in Gaza on Nov. 8, 2026, killed two Palestinians—a man and a woman—and injured others, according to medical sources cited by Anadolu, EFE and WAFA. Anadolu reported 12 people injured across the Strip, while the reports differ in how they assign injuries to the Khan Younis strike. The attacks took place during a ceasefire reported to have been in effect since October 2025.

What reports say about the Khan Younis strike
The accounts describe a drone strike on civilians in the western part of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza. EFE, citing sources at Nasser Hospital, placed the strike at the Al-Qadisiya displacement camp and reported that two missiles were used. It identified the dead as a man and a woman and said 12 people were injured.

WAFA also reported two deaths, including a woman, after a drone struck a group of civilians near Taiba Towers, west of Khan Younis. Its report described several injuries but did not give a precise number in the available excerpt.

Anadolu’s report gave a total of 12 injuries across Gaza. It said seven people were injured in the Khan Younis incident, according to a medical source at Nasser Medical Complex.
2 These figures do not align neatly with EFE’s account of 12 people injured in the Al-Qadisiya strike, so the available reports do not establish a single, consistent breakdown.

Other reported attacks and injuries
A separate report citing Anadolu said a drone strike on a gathering in northern Gaza injured four people, one critically. It also reported that a woman was shot and injured at the Qatari Camp in Khan Younis.
4 Another account located the northern strike in Bir al-Naaja, west of Jabalia.

Witnesses quoted in the Anadolu-referencing report said Israeli military vehicles opened fire toward areas in southern Khan Younis and Al-Shakoush.
4 The supplied reporting does not establish a complete, independently verified account of every location mentioned in the wider reports.
A nursing student’s death was reported separately
Drop Site reported that nursing student Basma Atef al-Saksak died from injuries sustained in an Israeli strike on a displacement tent at the University College of Applied Sciences campus in Khan Younis the previous Tuesday. A separate report attributed confirmation of her death to Gaza’s Ministry of Education and Higher Education. This was a separate reported death, not one of the two fatalities attributed to the Nov. 8 Khan Younis strike.

Reports on Nov. 1 said Israeli airstrikes killed eight Palestinians, including a child, in Khan Younis and Gaza City. EFE’s account described the child as three years old.

The attacks on Nov. 8 came as heavy rain was flooding shelters. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said rain began on the evening of Nov. 6 and caused widespread flooding and damage to shelters and humanitarian facilities through the weekend.

The available sources support the broad Nov. 8 death toll and several individual incidents, but do not resolve every location or casualty-count difference. They also do not provide a verified cumulative casualty total for the ceasefire period in the material cited here.
