Israeli forces have killed three Palestinians, including a child, and injured several others in various incidents across the Gaza Strip. According to health officials, the victims include an 11-year-old child, Ismail Al-Bardawil, who was killed when Israeli tanks opened fire on tents for displaced people in the Al-Mawasi area. The child's body was brought to Nasser hospital in the southern city of Khan Yunis.
In a separate incident in the central Gaza Strip, 31-year-old Fidaa Toutah died from her wounds after being shot by Israeli forces on Salah al-Din street east of Nuseirat refugee camp. Officials at Al-Awda hospital confirmed her death. Meanwhile, a man, Mohsen Ahmed Bahjat, was killed after being shot in the head by a drone in Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip, according to officials at Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City.
Gaza's civil defence agency confirmed the identities of the dead and reported that its teams had transported nine wounded people to hospitals following Israeli fire in Khan Yunis and Bureij refugee camp. The agency's spokesman, Mahmoud Bassal, provided details on the child victim, confirming that Ismail Al-Bardawil was 11 years old.
The latest incidents are part of a larger pattern of violence in Gaza. According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement in force since October 2025 have killed at least 1,394 Palestinians and wounded 4,839 others. The ministry's figures also indicate that since October 2023, Israel's actions in Gaza have killed more than 73,000 Palestinians and wounded over 174,000.
The situation in Gaza remains dire, with approximately 90 percent of the territory's buildings and infrastructure left in ruins. The Palestinian Health Ministry and other humanitarian organizations have repeatedly called for an end to the violence and the implementation of measures to protect civilians.
The international community has been following the developments in Gaza with concern. Egypt, in particular, has been pushing for de-escalation and a settlement in Gaza, as discussed during recent meetings at the United Nations General Assembly. The Egyptian government has also been involved in efforts to provide humanitarian assistance to those affected by the conflict.
The violence in Gaza has also sparked reactions from other countries and organizations. The US Treasury chief recently stated that Iran airlines would be 'shut down' as part of efforts to pressure Iran to change its behavior. Meanwhile, the Egyptian government has taken steps to address the situation, including expelling students who film teachers on campus and discussing a health memorandum of understanding with Lebanon.
