Palestinian media reports that at least two people, including a small child, were killed by the IDF this morning in Gaza.
The military has not commented on the reports, but has in the past said such strikes are in response to ceasefire violations.
In al-Mawasi, a southern coastal area on the Hamas-controlled side of the Gaza ceasefire line near the city of Khan Younis, 3-year-old Iyad al-Rubaiya was reportedly killed by gunfire from an Israeli Navy boat. His body was brought to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, according to the reports.
Other people were said to have been wounded in the strike, with some outlets reporting that a 40-year-old man was also killed and brought to Nasser Hospital.
In Jabalia, in the Strip’s north, 22-year-old Ramadan Dardouna was reportedly killed, and at least one other person wounded, by IDF gunfire on the Israeli-controlled side of the ceasefire line. Dardouna’s body was reportedly brought to Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital.
In a noon report, the Strip’s Hamas-run health ministry says Gaza hospitals have received four people wounded and the bodies of three people killed by IDF gunfire over the past 24 hours, as well as the bodies of two people killed before that period.
The report does not identify the dead, say where or in what circumstances the people were killed or wounded or specify the severity of the injuries.
