Overview
- Emergency services in Gaza reported two Palestinians killed Friday in Jabalia and Beit Lahiya, with additional Israeli strikes noted across the enclave.
- The IDF said it eliminated an individual who approached the Yellow Line in southern Gaza and confirmed a separate incident in which a reservist was severely wounded by gunfire in the north.
- The Rafah crossing saw only a trickle of movement after a partial reopening, with the Red Crescent indicating no transfers planned Friday and medical evacuations running far below pledged daily numbers.
- Wednesday’s attacks killed at least 23 Palestinians, described as among the deadliest days since the US-brokered ceasefire took effect.
- Humanitarian needs remain acute as Israel pursues its stated goal of dismantling Hamas and asserts control over much of northern Gaza, with operations continuing in the south including the Rafah area.
