Israeli military operations across the Gaza Strip on Friday resulted in the deaths of six Palestinians and injuries to approximately 20 others. The attacks, which spanned various areas including Gaza City, Deir al-Balah, Khan Younis, and northern Gaza, involved artillery shelling, live fire from military vehicles, drone strikes, and naval gunfire. Civilian homes and property sustained damage.
In Deir al-Balah, three Palestinians were killed by Israeli artillery shelling near the Al-Qastal towers. The victims were identified as Samar Al-Lawh, 34, Alaa Abu Dhaher, 38, and his 14-year-old son Ahmed. A residential apartment in one of the towers was hit, coinciding with a mourning gathering nearby. Another Palestinian suffered moderate injuries from military vehicle fire.
In Gaza City, Akram Saadi Hassanein, 45, was killed by Israeli fire in the eastern Shejaiya neighborhood. An elderly woman and her son were injured by artillery shelling in the same area. In Beit Lahia and Al-Faluja in northern Gaza, two Palestinians, including a child, were wounded by fire from military vehicles targeting homes and tents. Israeli drones dropped explosive devices on occupied homes in eastern Shejaiya, causing material damage but no reported injuries.
In southern Gaza, Ramzi Nabil Abu Teem, 36, was killed and five others injured in a drone strike targeting a gathering in the Turkish Slaughterhouse area southwest of Khan Younis. A girl was critically injured by gunfire near the tents of displaced people in Mawasi Rafah. Heavy fire from military vehicles and artillery shelling were reported in eastern and central Khan Younis.
Separately, Iyad Mohammed Al-Jazar, 20, died from injuries sustained during an Israeli shelling of a building at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis on Thursday. This raised the death toll from the attack on the complex to seven, with the Gaza Ministry of Health reporting that the initial shelling killed six Palestinians, including a child and a doctor, and injured about 30 others.
In parallel diplomatic efforts, intelligence chiefs from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey met in Cairo on Friday to discuss the Gaza situation, efforts to secure a ceasefire, and the implementation of existing agreements. The meeting occurred amidst ongoing Israeli operations, which Palestinian factions view as violations of the ceasefire, and stalled progress on agreement terms. Regional and international efforts continue to advance the agreement and prevent further escalation.
