Israeli forces carried out a fresh wave of strikes and shootings across the Gaza Strip. A Palestinian died of wounds from a strike on the al-Amal neighborhood of Khan Younis, while two others were killed in a drone strike in Gaza City's Tal al-Hawa area, adding to a mounting toll of Palestinian deaths. A separate Israeli air strike near a bakery in central Deir el-Balah killed two more Palestinians, including three-year-old Taym Hamdan and Hussam Nasser, according to health officials and medics cited by Reuters. The Israeli military said it had targeted and killed a Hamas fighter it accused of involvement in attacks, though several bystanders were also wounded, underscoring the continued civilian toll of ongoing Israeli operations in Gaza.
