Basir al-Bursh, the son of Gaza Health Ministry Director General Munir al-Bursh, was killed by ‘Israeli’ fire in northern Gaza on Saturday.
The Gaza Health Ministry said the attack took place in the al-Zahra neighborhood, west of the Jabalia refugee camp.
Basir al-Bursh was one of three Palestinians reported killed by ‘Israeli’ army fire in the enclave that day, according to Palestinian sources.

Al-Bursh is one of the most familiar public faces of the Gaza health system.
The killing comes nearly a year into a ceasefire that has done little to stop the deaths. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, at least 1,375 people have been killed and more than 4,600 injured since the truce took effect on October 10, 2025, not counting Saturday's deaths.
