# One killed near Maghazi camp in Gaza as strikes continue through the ceasefire

A strike near Salah al-Din Street close to the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza killed one person and wounded two on Sunday morning, Palestinian media reported. Gaza's health ministry says 1,286 people have been killed since the ceasefire began last October.

One person was killed and two wounded in an Israeli air strike near Salah al-Din Street, close to the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, on Sunday morning. The figures come from Palestinian media, including the news agency Wafa, [as reported by Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/8/23/israeli-air-strike-near-gaza-refugee-camp-kills-one-person-and-injures-two).

The Israeli military has not commented, at least not in the account we read.

## Why we are running a story about one death

Because of the number underneath it.

Gaza's Ministry of Health says 1,286 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire that began in October 2025, and that more than 73,400 have been killed since the war began in October 2023. Those are the ministry's figures, and we attribute them to the ministry every time we print them.

A ceasefire under which 1,286 people have died is a particular kind of arrangement, and the individual strikes that make up that total mostly go unreported outside Gaza because each one is small. One dead and two wounded is not a headline anywhere else. But the ministry's total, spread across the roughly ten months since the fighting was supposed to have stopped, works out at about four deaths a day, and days like this one are what that average is made of.

## What we do not know

We do not know who was killed, what the strike hit, or what it was aimed at. The report does not say, and the Israeli military has not stated a target.

That absence is itself worth noting rather than passing over. In the ordinary run of reporting on strikes, a military states what it was targeting and that statement is set against the account from the ground. Here there is only one account, from Palestinian media, and no second version to weigh it against.

## A second incident

Al Jazeera's Ashraf Abu Amra reported on a separate drone attack the previous day, targeting the al-Hasanat family in Deir el-Balah. The report we read gives no casualty figures for that incident.

## On the figures

Casualty totals produced by the health ministry in Gaza are used by the United Nations and most international news organisations, and have been disputed by the Israeli government. We report them as the ministry's figures because that is what they are, and because no independent count exists that could replace them.

We verified this account from a single publication.
