Claim
The Israeli military also opened fire on a girl and two young men in Jabalia, Al-Tuam and near Al-Bureij camp, and shelled areas near Rafah.
Attributed to Israeli forces
Evidence
Searches for this exact wording did not turn up the specific incident report as attributed. General searches for Israeli military activity in Jabalia, Al-Bureij camp, and Rafah during the Gaza conflict returned numerous similar but distinct reports from outlets such as IMEMC News, WAFA, Al-Monitor, and others describing Israeli gunfire, shelling, and casualties in these same areas on various dates (e.g., IMEMC reports of shelling east of Jabalia, a child shot in Jabalia's Al-Qassaseeb area, and artillery strikes near Rafah and Khan Younis). However, no source was found that reports this precise combination of events — a girl and two young men fired upon in Jabalia, an area called 'Al-Tuam,' and shelling near Al-Bureij camp and Rafah — as a single, identifiable incident. No fact-checking organization (Reuters Fact Check, AFP Fact Check, Bellingcat, or EUvsDisinfo) appears to have examined this specific claim.
Assessment
The claim is consistent in style and geography with routine Palestinian and international wire-service situation reports from the Gaza conflict, but the exact incident as described could not be located or independently corroborated in available search results, and no fact-checking body has assessed it.
Confidence
Little or no independent corroboration was found - this reflects the current state of public evidence, not a guess.
