Israeli occupation forces killed six Palestinians and injured dozens more on Thursday in multiple attacks across the besieged and devastated Gaza Strip, including drone fire, shelling of tents sheltering displaced families, and live ammunition targeting civilians in Rafah, Khan Younis, Deir al‑Balah, and Beit Lahia.
Israeli drone fire killed Fatima al‑Zahra Ramzi al‑Ma‘ani, 26, in the al‑Mahatta area east of Deir al‑Balah in central Gaza.
Medical teams at al‑Aqsa Hospital confirmed that she was struck by live fire from an Israeli quadcopter while civilians were gathered in the area.
In southern Gaza, an Israeli airstrike on a tent sheltering displaced families in the al‑Mawasi area west of Khan Younis killed Mohammad Salah Abu Habib and injured four others.
Later in the day, another Israeli strike on a tent for displaced Palestinians in the same district killed an additional civilian and wounded several more.
Residents in the town of al‑Qarara northeast of Khan Younis discovered the remains of a Palestinian killed in an earlier Israeli attack. The body was transferred to al‑Aqsa Hospital in Deir al‑Balah.
Emergency crews also recovered the bodies of two Palestinian truck drivers shot dead by Israeli forces in the al‑Mawasi area of Rafah, in the southernmost part of the Gaza Strip.
The victims were identified as Mohammad Abdul‑Fattah Ali al‑Heila and Mahmoud Nafez Mohammad Awad, both employees of a private transport company.
In northern Gaza, Israeli quadcopter fire killed 13‑year‑old Jude Tal‘at Dweik and injured two others in Beit Lahia. The child had been trying to obtain food from an aid center when the soldiers bombed the area.
In a separate attack, an Israeli drone dropped an explosive near the Halawa displacement camp in Jabalia, injuring at least one civilian.
The Palestinian Health Ministry reported that Israeli forces also shot and killed a Palestinian man in al‑Qarara, while another civilian was killed and several others injured when an Israeli quadcopter dropped an explosive device on a group of residents in the Beit Lahia project area.
Since the declared “ceasefire” on October 11, 2025, the total number of Palestinians killed has risen to 883, with 2,648 injured and 776 bodies recovered from destroyed areas. Since the beginning of the genocide in Gaza on October 7, 2023, the cumulative toll has reached 72,775 killed and 172,750 injured, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza (21 May 2026).
