Three community kitchen workers among five killed by Israel in Gaza

May 18, 2026

Gaza [Israel], May 18: Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip have killed at least five Palestinians, including three in Deir el-Balah, and others in Khan Younis and Beit Lahiya.
Sunday's attack on the central city of Deir el-Balah targeted a community kitchen and all three victims were charity workers, according to Al Jazeera's Hind Khoudary, reporting from Gaza City. "This shows that Israel is not only targeting people, but also organisations serving the community across Gaza," Khoudary added.
Reacting to the same attack, Hamas said it was "a deliberate war crime and a renewed scene of the ongoing genocide against our people in the Gaza Strip".
"This occurs amid an unjustified international silence and inaction that emboldens the occupation to continue its massacres, in blatant disregard for all international values, norms, and laws," said the armed group's statement. According to Gaza's Health Ministry's statistics published on Sunday, Israel's genocidal war on Gaza has killed at least 72,760 Palestinians since October 7, 2023.
