The incidents occurred in different parts of the strip, including a fire that broke out in a tent housing displaced persons and Israeli targeting of citizens with live ammunition. The Palestinian News Agency "Wafa" reported that the two girls died on Saturday morning from injuries sustained in a fire that broke out on Friday evening in a tent housing displaced persons in Mawasi Khan Yunis.

The fire in the tent housing displaced persons in Mawasi Khan Yunis resulted in the deaths of two young girls, Asil Ibrahim Abu Suhayban and Habiba Muhammad Zنون, who suffered severe burns.
