GAZA (Afghan Verified) -- Israeli airstrikes struck multiple locations in the Gaza Strip on April 5, 2026, killing at least six Palestinians, according to reports cited by RTA.
Al Jazeera reported two Palestinians killed and one wounded in Israeli attacks, with one incident occurring in Gaza City and the other south of Khan Younis.
Reuters, quoting Palestinian health sources, reported four Palestinians killed and several wounded in a separate airstrike targeting Yafa Street near the Drraj neighborhood in northern Gaza City.
The cited reports show discrepancies in casualty figures and specific locations but agree on Israeli airstrikes causing Palestinian deaths and injuries across the Gaza Strip.
RTA noted that the attacks persisted despite international attention shifting to other regional conflicts.

Reliability assessment
RTA cites two independent named outlets (Al Jazeera and Reuters, latter quoting health sources) corroborating the core event of Israeli airstrikes in Gaza causing Palestinian deaths and injuries; specific details vary across reports but event existence is confirmed.
The source language mixes facts with framing or advocacy wording. RTA: "martyrdom" (شهادت) – religiously loaded term implying heroic sacrifice rather than neutral 'killed'; "Zionist Israeli regime" and "Israeli regime" (رژیم صهیونیستی اسراییل / رژیم اسراییل) – pejorative framing of Israel as an illegitimate 'regime'.
