Israeli air strike on refugee camp kills three Palestinians in Gaza

An Israeli air strike on the al-Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City killed three Palestinians and injured several others on Thursday evening, according to Wafa news agency. Middle East Eye reports that the strikes targeted a group of Palestinians near Martyrs Square. Gaza’s ministry of health states that at least 74,618 Palestinians have been killed and more than 175,000 wounded since October 2023.

In the West Bank village of al-Mughayyir, Israeli soldiers were observed near olive groves on Thursday as families attempted to harvest crops. Euronews reports that troops fired tear gas near the pickers. Residents of the village, which is located northeast of Ramallah, say they can access only about 100 hectares of their land and must obtain military approval to reach their groves.

The village has faced pressure from nearby Israeli settler outposts, with six residents killed in 2026 and approximately 12,000 olive trees uprooted from its eastern plain in 2025. Euronews notes that the UN has recorded 377 settler attacks involving casualties or property damage across the West Bank since September, the highest number since 2006. These incidents have resulted in one Palestinian death, over 200 injuries, and damage to 3,850 trees.
