In northern Gaza, Israeli forces shot dead 28-year-old Mahmoud Samih al-Kharsha on al-Khawja Street in the Jabalia refugee camp. Another Palestinian, whose identity was not immediately established, was killed in an Israeli strike near the al-Alam roundabout in the al-Mawasi area of Rafah in the southern part of the Strip; his body was later found and recovered.

Deaths from previously sustained wounds

In Khan Younis, six-year-old Tahani Mohammed Saeed Shalabi died of wounds sustained when Israeli forces opened fire in al-Mawasi on Monday. Ahmed Yassin Bseiso died of injuries received several days earlier in an Israeli strike on al-Sawra Street in Gaza City.

Wounded and shelling in various areas

According to civil defense sources, a fisherman was wounded by shrapnel from a bomb dropped by an Israeli drone off the coast of Khan Younis. Israeli fire wounded two more Palestinians in separate incidents in Kizan Rashwan and east of the Hamad City neighborhood. Two others, including a child, were wounded east of the Bureij refugee camp in the central part of the Strip, a medical source at Al-Awda Hospital said. In addition, according to local sources, Israeli warships shelled and opened machine-gun fire on Palestinians on the beach near the Al-Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City.
