Since October 2023, Israeli attacks in Gaza have claimed the lives of at least 73,658 Palestinians, with 174,622 others wounded, according to Gaza's health ministry.
In the past 24 hours, Wafa reported that Israeli strikes killed at least eight Palestinians and wounded 30 more, with two fatalities resulting from wounds sustained in earlier assaults. Among the casualties was Palestinian man Ismail Ibrahim Qandil, who was killed when an Israeli air strike targeted him while riding his motorbike northwest of Khan Younis.
Israeli forces continued their aggression throughout Gaza and the occupied West Bank, conducting additional attacks and raids. Their naval forces opened fire on fishing boats off Gaza City, injuring two fishermen. Additionally, Israeli forces detained Palestinians in raids in Ramallah, Tulkarm, Nilin, and Nablus.
Settlers targeted a farming shed south of Nablus, damaging electricity poles and assaulting two Palestinians. They have also begun fencing off land in al-Hadidiya in the Jordan Valley, impeding Palestinians' access to agricultural areas.
Wafa also reported that a rescuer was searching for survivors amid rubble following an overnight Israeli air strike on Kfar Roummane in southern Lebanon.
