On Oct 17, 2026, Israeli drone strikes killed 4 people in the Gaza Strip since morning, JFeed reports (3 in Gaza City's al-Tuffah area and 1 on al-Baraka Street, Deir al-Balah). WAFA, citing medical sources, says a strike on a gathering in al-Tuffah killed 1 and injured several others, and a later WAFA report says a drone strike on al-Baraka Street in Deir al-Balah killed 1 and injured several. Ynet reports the al-Tuffah strike as an IDF drone strike. AP's Oct 17 Middle East roundup also reports 4 killed but splits them differently (2 east of Gaza City, a 14-year-old in Deir al-Balah, 1 in Rafah).
