Two Palestinians were killed and eight others injured in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip early Friday, according to medical sources and witnesses cited by Anadolu Agency.
In southern Gaza, a 36-year-old Palestinian man was killed and five others injured when an Israeli drone struck a group of Palestinians in the Turkish Slaughterhouse area, southwest of Khan Younis.
In the Al-Mawasi area of Rafah, a Palestinian girl was shot in the neck when Israeli forces opened fire on tents sheltering displaced people. Her condition was reported to be serious.
Israeli military vehicles also opened heavy fire on eastern, southern and central areas of Khan Younis, while artillery shelled areas east of the city.
Separately, 20-year-old Eyad Mohammed al-Jazzar died from wounds sustained in an Israeli strike on a building at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis early Thursday.
The strike killed six Palestinians, including a child and a doctor, and wounded about 30 medical workers, patients and their companions, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. Al-Jazzar’s death raised the toll from the hospital attack to seven.
The latest figures released Wednesday by Gaza’s Health Ministry show that Israeli ceasefire violations have killed 1,622 Palestinians and wounded 5,878 others.
Since Oct. 8, 2023, Israel’s war on Gaza has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians and wounded over 175,000, most of them women and children.
The war has destroyed around 90% of the enclave’s infrastructure. The UN estimates reconstruction costs at $71.4 billion.
