An Israeli drone carried out a 'double-tap' strike in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, first targeting a group of Palestinians and then striking the same location again after rescuers arrived. The strikes killed Palestinian Civil Defence paramedic Sharif Shadi Labad and 15-year-old schoolboy Mohammad Abdul Zinati, and wounded several others in the second strike. Israeli forces said the initial strike targeted Hamas operatives. Gaza's Health Ministry said 6 people were killed and 71 wounded across Gaza in the preceding 24 hours, putting the toll since the October 2025 ceasefire at 1,381 killed and 4,757 wounded, and the cumulative toll since October 7, 2023 at 73,795 killed and 174,869 wounded.
