Overview
- Health officials in Gaza, which reported new deaths Tuesday, said a woman was killed by fire from an Israeli naval boat in Beit Lahiya and a man died in an airstrike near Khan Younis, as Israel said it had struck “terrorists” in the area.
- In the Israeli-occupied West Bank, witnesses said Israeli settlers killed two Palestinians, including a 14-year-old boy, in al-Mughayyir near Ramallah, with the Israeli military offering no immediate comment.
- The current truce, brokered in October 2025, left Israeli forces holding a depopulated strip known as the “yellow line,” which covers more than half of Gaza and separates areas under Israeli control from zones where Palestinians remain.
- Video verified by Reuters showed gunmen from an Israeli-backed local militia entering a Hamas-run area in eastern Khan Younis as shooting erupted, signaling growing militia activity that complicates security inside Gaza.
- Gaza’s health ministry places the death toll since October 2023 at 72,553 with 172,296 wounded, while Gaza’s media office reports roughly 2,400 truce violations since October 2025, reflecting frequent breaches and mounting civilian risk.
