Gaza health officials say Israeli fire kills three
Gaza health officials said Israeli fire killed three people, including a woman and a child, and injured several others across the Palestinian territory.
Three individuals, including a woman and a child, were killed by Israeli fire in the Palestinian territory of Gaza, according to health officials. The child, Ismail Al-Bardawil, was 11 years old when his body was taken to Nasser hospital in Khan Younis following an attack on a displaced people's tent area by Israeli tanks. In the central Gaza Strip, Fidaa Toutah, a 31-year-old woman, died from her wounds after being shot by Israeli forces on Salah al-Din street near Nuseirat refugee camp.
A man, Mohsen Ahmed Bahjat, also lost his life after being targeted by a drone in Jabalia, northern Gaza. Gaza's civil defense agency confirmed the identities of the deceased and reported that nine wounded people were transported to hospitals following the Israeli fire in Khan Yunis and Bureij refugee camp. The Israeli military confirmed it was investigating the reports.
Since the October 7, 2023, attack by Hamas, Israel has carried out airstrikes in Gaza, resulting in over 73,900 casualties according to Gaza's health ministry. Over 1,300 individuals have been killed by Israeli strikes since the ceasefire was announced last year, with five Israeli soldiers also losing their lives during the same period.
