The attacks reportedly targeted a refugee camp in Nuseirat and areas near Gaza City. The Hamas-affiliated civil defense confirmed the deaths, and Al-Shifa Hospital verified the casualties. Munir al-Barsch described the killing of his son as 'a continuation of Israel’s crimes.' The Israeli army has not commented on the incident. This follows the October 7, 2023, attack by Hamas and its allies on Israel, which resulted in over 1,200 deaths and the capture of 251 hostages, many of whom were later killed. Since then, Israel has conducted extensive operations in Gaza, with Hamas claiming more than 73,000 Palestinian lives. Despite a ceasefire agreement reached in October 2023, Israeli forces have continued attacking targets in the region.

Israeli airstrikes kill at least three in Gaza, including son of health ministry chiefIsraeli airstrikes in Gaza on Saturday resulted in at least three Palestinian deaths, including Basir Al-Bursh, the son of Munir Al-Bursh, who serves as the director-general of Gaza's health ministry. According to medical personnel and family members, Basir was killed during an attack near Jabalia refugee camp. The Israeli military stated it targeted militants, including Basir, but provided no additional details. Hamas, which governs Gaza, did not immediately respond to the incident. In a video shared by Reuters, Munir Al-Bursh described his son's final moments before the strike occurred. Earlier this year, Munir had lost a daughter in a similar airstrike. Additional strikes elsewhere in Gaza reportedly killed two more individuals, bringing the total death toll to at least three. Palestinian authorities claim over 73,000 people have died since Israel's military campaign began after Hamas attacks in late 2023. Despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement aimed at rebuilding Gaza, progress has stalled due to disagreements over Hamas disarming and Israel withdrawing troops. Health officials report over 1,300 Palestinian civilian deaths since the ceasefire was established.
