Israeli strikes have killed five Palestinians and wounded 32 others across Gaza, medical sources reported, while a six-year-old girl and a man succumbed to injuries sustained in earlier bombardments.

In the southern enclave, an Israeli drone strike killed three Palestinians and wounded 15 others—five seriously—at a government checkpoint near Muawiya Mosque in the Al-Mawasi district of Rafah.

Sources told Anadolu Agency the facility monitored commercial cargo entering via the Kerem Shalom crossing.

In northern Gaza, Israeli soldiers shot dead 28-year-old Mahmoud Samih al-Harsh on al-Hawja Street in Jabalia refugee camp.

In central Khan Younis, a drone strike on a residential rooftop killed Mohammed Alyan al-Bayouk, 33, and wounded three others, including an elderly woman.

Widespread artillery, drone, and naval attacks

Additional drone and artillery fire wounded civilians throughout the territory.

An unmanned aircraft struck a gathering near Al-Tina Street in Khan Younis, injuring five people, whilst an air strike on Al-Eshreen Street north of Nuseirat refugee camp wounded three passersby, two critically.

Drone fire also moderately injured a Palestinian east of Deir al-Balah, and a drone-dropped munition wounded a fisherman offshore.

Fatalities from earlier aggression rose as six-year-old Tahani Mohammed Saeed Shalalfeh died from wounds sustained during Monday's gunfire in al-Mawasi.

Ahmed Yassin Bseiso also succumbed to injuries sustained days earlier along al-Thawra Street in Gaza City.

Gunfire wounded civilians in Qizan Rashwan, east of Hamad City, and east of Bureij camp, while naval gunboats shelled the shore near al-Shati camp.

Since October 2023, Israel's genocidal war has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians, wounded over 175,000, and damaged or destroyed roughly 90 percent of Gaza's infrastructure.

More than 1,500 Palestinians have been killed since an October 2025 ceasefire took effect.
