Gaza: A Palestinian was killed and seven others injured by Israeli army fire in incidents in the Gaza Strip late Saturday, as Israeli airstrikes, artillery shelling and demolitions continued in different parts of the enclave.

According to Anadolu Agency, a source at the Al-Awda Hospital reported that Mohammed Bashir Abu Armana was killed after being shot by Israeli forces on 20th Street in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. In the southern city of Khan Younis, two individuals wounded by Israeli gunfire were taken to the Nasser Hospital following separate incidents near the Jordanian Hospital in Khan Younis refugee camp and Abu Hamid roundabout, as confirmed by medical sources.

Witnesses reported that Israeli warplanes executed airstrikes while artillery shelling and heavy gunfire targeted central Khan Younis. The strikes also impacted evacuated homes in the Jorat al-Lot area to the south of the city. In Gaza City, medical sources indicated that two wounded Palestinians arrived at the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital after Israeli military vehicles opened fire in the Daloul area of the Zeitoun neighborhood in the southeastern part of the city.

Additionally, Israeli military vehicles unleashed heavy fire east of the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza. Three Palestinians sustained injuries earlier on Saturday in an Israeli strike targeting a motorcycle in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza. Israeli forces also executed extensive demolitions in areas under their control in Rafah in southern Gaza and east of Gaza City.

Palestinian authorities have reported that Israeli violations since a ceasefire took effect last October have resulted in the deaths of 1,260 Palestinians and injuries to 4,154 others. Israel has persisted in a military offensive in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, with Palestinian authorities stating that more than 73,000 people have been killed and over 174,000 injured, most of them women and children, while 90% of the enclave’s infrastructure has been destroyed.
