Rafah

An Israeli airstrike on Nasser Hospital’s surgical wing in Khan Yunis kills six Palestinians, including a 13‑year‑old boy, and wounds nearly 30 others. The Israeli military says the target was a Hamas commander using the facility as a base, though no evidence is offered. The attack draws condemnation from Pakistan and 16 other nations, which call it a breach of international humanitarian law. The strike occurs amid ongoing Israeli operations in southern Lebanon and the West Bank, where multiple towns were hit and raids conducted in Nablus.

Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton toured Egyptian Red Crescent warehouses in Al-Arish and the Rafah land crossing on the Egypt-Gaza border, escorted by North Sinai Governor Khaled Megawer. Hamilton, who stayed on the Egyptian side, then urged Israel to let aid trucks enter Gaza, saying trucks were often denied entry or delayed. Reports say aid entering Gaza falls far short of the 600 trucks a day agreed under a truce. The UN estimates nearly two million Palestinians are displaced, and heavy rains have destroyed tens of thousands of tents in Gaza.

A drone strike on a market in Nyala, the capital of South Darfur in Sudan, killed at least 36 people and wounded more than 100 on Monday evening, according to Doctors Without Borders, which said 36 bodies reached its hospital. Local rights groups and officials cited by The Associated Press put the toll higher, at 102 to more than 100 killed, while the RSF-aligned Tasis administration's health minister gave 102 civilian deaths and 113 injured. Sudan has been at war since April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces. The same week, drone attacks also disrupted power across several states, and a UN tally recorded over 300 drone deaths in the first three weeks of October.

A UN commission of inquiry says Israel has continued genocidal acts in Gaza after the October 2025 ceasefire, and that the situation in the West Bank has worsened. Israel's Geneva mission calls the report a misinformation campaign. The Palestinian health ministry reports 74,561 deaths in Gaza since October 2023, including 1,565 since the ceasefire took effect. It also says Israeli forces killed 14 Palestinians over the past two days, including a six-year-old girl. The report covers events from 7 October 2023 to September 2026.
