An Israeli drone strike on the coastal road in Gaza City killed Al Jazeera journalist Muhammad Washah and three other Palestinians on April 8, 2026. The IDF claimed Washah was a member of Hamas's military wing, an allegation denied by the network. The incident occurred during a day of multiple strikes across Gaza, including an attack in the central region that killed two civilians, as localized fighting persists despite regional ceasefire efforts.
