Local sources and eyewitnesses said Israeli forces opened fire on tents sheltering displaced people in Jabalia in northern Gaza, while an Israeli drone targeted a gathering of Palestinians in the Jabalia refugee camp.

Al-Shifa Medical Complex said in a statement that the bodies of two Palestinians, including a 16-year-old boy, were brought to the hospital, along with several wounded people.

Separately, Al-Aqsa Hospital said a Palestinian woman died after succumbing to serious injuries sustained Tuesday from Israeli fire in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces carried out a series of demolitions across the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem earlier in the day, while Rabee' al-Shurafa, mayor of Beita, south of Nablus, said settlers burned three vehicles and attacked Palestinian homes in an eastern area between Beita and Osarin.

According to Gaza-based health authorities, the death toll since the ceasefire took effect in October 2025 had risen to 1,334, with 4,429 others wounded.

They added that the overall death toll since the outbreak of the conflict on Oct. 7, 2023, had reached 73,470, with 174,540 others wounded.
