Israel airstrike kills three Palestinians, including child, in Gaza tent area
On Sunday Israeli forces struck a tent sheltering displaced people in Deir al‑Balah, killing three Palestinians – an eight‑year‑old boy, his grandfather and another man – and wounding several others. Earlier, an Israeli drone hit the al‑Salatin area near Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza, killing two civilians and injuring one. In Khan Younis a missile hit a tent, killing an unidentified person and wounding additional civilians. The Gaza Health Ministry says the conflict, now under a ceasefire that began in October, has killed at least 73,054 Palestinians and wounded 173,480. International agencies such as the International Committee of the Red Cross reported the transfer of detainees and warned that aid access remains restricted. Separate reports noted 110 Israeli settlers storming the Al‑Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem and new restrictions on worship in the West Bank.
