Israeli strikes in Gaza on Friday, March 13, 2026, killed four Palestinians in two separate attacks, including two 17-year-olds, Palestinian medics said, as violence continued across the West Bank and Gaza while Israel expanded its offensive regionally. The strikes came amid a wave of cross-border and internal confrontations that authorities say have escalated over the past 24 hours.
Palestinian paramedics reported an earlier airstrike in Gaza that they said killed three people, including two 17-year-old males. The Israeli military told Reuters it was not aware of that earlier strike. Local medics were the source for the casualty figures reported from Gaza.
The violence is not confined to Gaza: Israeli forces have used lethal force in Iran, Lebanon, Gaza and the occupied West Bank in the last day, according to reports, underscoring the widening geographic scope of the conflict. Clashes and operations in multiple areas have contributed to mounting civilian harm and displacement.
After nearly two weeks of war, the death toll has reached about 2,000 people, with most fatalities reported in Iran, and several million people displaced from their homes, reflecting a rapidly deepening humanitarian crisis across the region. Reuters reported on the developments.
