Overview
- A drone strike near the Al Madhoun market in Jabalia killed at least four people and wounded seven, hospital sources told reporters after the attack on Sunday.
- Medical staff at Shifa hospital warned the death toll could rise because several of the wounded were in serious condition when they arrived.
- Separately on Sunday, soldiers shot and killed a 6-year-old boy, Rayan Bahaa Abu Al Nayin, and wounded his father who was briefly detained, according to the child’s family and hospital statements.
- The Israel Defense Forces said troops opened fire during standard detention procedures and that the incidents are under investigation, while Gaza’s Health Ministry reports nearly 1,000 deaths during the eight-month ceasefire and about 73,000 total deaths since October 2023.
- Northern Gaza hospitals remain largely non-operational and medical teams are overwhelmed, a condition that complicates casualty care, limits independent verification, and deepens the enclave’s humanitarian crisis.
