Gaza:Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday resulted in the deaths of five Palestinians and injuries to 32 others, as reported by medical sources. The attacks coincided with Israel's parliamentary elections, adding to the ongoing tensions in the region.
According to Anadolu Agency – English, the latest incident involved an Israeli drone strike that killed three Palestinians and injured 15 others, five of whom are in serious condition. This attack targeted a government checkpoint near Muawiya Mosque in the Al-Mawasi area of Rafah, southern Gaza. The checkpoint was responsible for monitoring commercial trucks entering through the Kerem Shalom crossing.
In a separate incident in northern Gaza, Israeli troops shot and killed 28-year-old Mahmoud Samih al-Harsh on al-Hawja Street in the Jabalia refugee camp. Earlier on Wednesday, Mohammed Alyan al-Bayouk, 33, was killed by an Israeli drone strike on a house rooftop in central Khan Younis, southern Gaza, which also injured three others, including an elderly woman.
Further attacks were reported, with Israeli drones striking civilians near Al-Tina Street in Khan Younis and an airstrike in central Gaza on Al-Eshreen Street, resulting in several injuries. Additionally, a six-year-old girl, Tahani Mohammed Saeed Shalalfeh, succumbed to wounds inflicted by Israeli forces in the al-Mawasi area on Monday.
Ahmed Yassin Bseiso also died from injuries sustained in an Israeli strike on al-Thawra Street in central Gaza City. Civil defense sources reported that a fisherman was wounded by shrapnel from a bomb dropped by an Israeli drone off the coast of Khan Younis.
Israeli gunfire has wounded multiple Palestinians in separate incidents across Gaza, including in Qizan Rashwan, east of Hamad City, and near the Bureij refugee camp. Israeli naval forces also shelled areas near the al-Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City.
