In Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, casualties were reported when the army fired live rounds and artillery shells and targeted a home in the Ma’en area in the city.
Also in Khan Younis, the army fired missiles at several areas in the Al-Farahin area, east of Abasan Al-Kabira town, causing casualties, while at least three Palestinians were killed and many were injured by an Israeli missile that struck a home for the Qdeih family, east of Khan Younis.

In Jabalia, in northern Gaza, more than fifteen Palestinians were killed and thirty were injured when the army fired many missiles outside a shelter center for displaced persons in Jabalia refugee camp.
The army also fired shells at the gate of a school where dozens of families sheltered, and at Palestinians trying to reach their previously bombarded homes, in Jabalia, killing and wounding dozens of Palestinians.
Medics rushed most of the slain and the wounded to Adwan Hospital despite continued Israeli bombing and shelling around it.
Families in Jabalia refugee camp remain stranded amidst intensified bombing and siege over the last few days and are left without access to food or water, while medics and civil defense teams remain unable to enter the refugee camp, due to destruction, continued bombing, and the siege.

In addition, the army fired dozens of live rounds, and many artillery shells at several areas, east of the Al-Boreij and the Al-Maghazi refugee camps, in central Gaza.
Israel has now killed more than 35.303 Palestinians, the majority of whom are women and children, and injured at least 79.261, in addition to the thousands who remain under the rubble in many parts of the destroyed Gaza Strip, since October 7, 2023.
