In southern Gaza, the 50-year-old woman was killed by Israeli army fire in the Beer 19 area of Mawasi Khan Younis. Israeli forces continued shelling, shooting, and demolishing homes in various parts of Gaza. Demolitions occurred in the north, and a booby-trapped robot carrying tons of explosives was detonated east of Gaza City to destroy remaining homes. In the Al-Shuja'iya neighborhood, east of the city, Israeli forces detonated two booby-trapped robots and fired on the eastern areas of Al-Tuffah neighborhood. Artillery shelling targeted eastern Gaza City areas, with explosions from demolitions causing part of a home in Sheikh Radwan to collapse.
