Israeli occupation forces carried out multiple attacks across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, killing a Palestinian teenager and injuring several civilians, including a child and an elderly man, amid continued bombardment, home demolitions, and drone fire, as the United Nations warned that ongoing Israeli violations threaten the fragile ceasefire and deepen the already catastrophic humanitarian crisis.
Medical sources confirmed that soldiers killed a Palestinian teenager in the al‑Maslakh area south of Khan Younis.
The victim, identified as Ahmad Mohammad Ahmad Abdul‑Al, 19, was shot outside the army’s deployment zone, becoming the fifth Palestinian killed by Israeli violations in the past twenty‑four hours.
Civil Defense teams reported evacuating another Palestinian who was wounded by Israeli gunfire in the Sheikh Nasser neighborhood east of Khan Younis.
At the same time, Israeli tanks fired toward central and southern Khan Younis, while naval vessels opened fire along the western coastline.
In northern Gaza, an elderly Palestinian man was wounded late Monday night after being struck by fire from an Israeli drone near the Abu Shreikh roundabout.
In a separate incident, Ahmad Rayan Abu Kinan, a kiosk owner in the al‑Faluja area of Jabalia, sustained injuries from stray bullets fired indiscriminately by Israeli occupation forces, according to local sources.
A fire also broke out in a displacement tent inside the Halawa camp in Jabalia after Israeli forces opened fire randomly across the area. The blaze caused material damage but no reported injuries.
Overnight, Israeli forces detonated residential buildings in areas of their deployment in both Khan Younis and Rafah, in Gaza’s southernmost region.
In Gaza City, another elderly man was injured after being shot by an Israeli quad‑copter drone in the Saftawi neighborhood, while Israeli forces also opened fire east of the al‑Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.
On Monday, Israeli troops demolished the Morag Water Station in Rafah — a facility that had supplied water to nearly one‑third of the city’s residents before the war.
The station, inaugurated in 2010 with support from the Turkish Red Crescent, served approximately 70,000 civilians.
Oxfam and Gaza’s water utility had visited the site in February 2025 to assess urgent repairs as part of rehabilitation efforts.
The United Nations condemned the killing of civilians in Israeli airstrikes carried out over the weekend, warning that continued violations undermine diplomatic efforts to reinforce the ceasefire.
UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said the Secretary‑General was deeply concerned by reports of civilian deaths and reiterated that the protection of civilians is a fundamental requirement under international humanitarian law.

Dujarric welcomed the reopening of the Rafah border crossing, which has allowed humanitarian aid from Egypt to reach Palestinians under the ceasefire framework.
He stressed that civilians must be allowed to leave and return voluntarily and safely, in accordance with international legal standards, and emphasized the urgent need to deliver essential humanitarian supplies to Gaza “in sufficient quantities and with fewer restrictions” through Rafah and all other available crossings.
According to the UN, several patients and their companions were able to cross from Gaza into Egypt earlier in the day, marking a limited but important humanitarian movement.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said five Palestinians were confirmed killed, including two found under rubble, and at least 4 injured in 24 hours.
Since the “ceasefire” announced on October 11, 2025, at least 526 Palestinians have been killed, 1,447 injured, and 717 bodies have been recovered from various areas across the Strip.
The overall death toll from the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza since October 7, 2023, has risen to at least 71,800 killed and more than 171,555 wounded.
