Three displaced individuals were killed and dozens more injured, including children, women, and the elderly, on Monday morning. The casualties occurred in the Al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis in southern Gaza when Israeli military vehicles and aircraft reportedly opened fire. Over the past 24 hours, dozens of Palestinians have been killed or wounded in various parts of the Gaza Strip, according to ongoing coverage. Gaza hospital sources reported that eight Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces on Sunday, with four of them in Gaza City and northern areas.
Israeli forces have continued to violate the ceasefire agreement for the 382nd consecutive day, engaging in artillery shelling, firing from military vehicles, demolishing homes, and targeting tents of displaced people. This activity coincides with an ongoing blockade and tightened restrictions on the Gaza Strip. In Khan Younis, a girl was shot in the neck while inside her family's tent in the "Beer 19" area, and another displaced person was injured by gunfire from Israeli military vehicles in the same vicinity.
Israeli drones dropped bombs on areas east of Batn al-Sameen in southern Khan Younis. Military vehicles fired shots north of the Bureij camp in central Gaza and northeast of Khan Younis. Israeli artillery intensified its shelling of southern and eastern Khan Younis, and targeted areas west of Beit Lahia in the northern Strip. Simultaneously, gunfire was reported east of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, and areas surrounding Hamad City in northern Khan Younis were also targeted.
These attacks are occurring amidst a deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza, particularly for displaced people facing increased risks from targeted areas. They also contend with shortages of basic necessities and the continuing blockade. A ceasefire agreement was previously reached with Arab and American mediation in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, on October 10, 2025. On July 31, 2026, the US President announced a "roadmap" for implementing ceasefire stages and ending the war, which Palestinian factions have reportedly agreed to on multiple occasions, despite ongoing alleged Israeli violations of the agreement.
