Five others died in Israeli strikes targeting tents housing displaced families in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. Three Palestinians lost their lives, and several were wounded by Israeli fire while waiting near an aid distribution point south of Khan Younis. The Israeli army also shelled a mourning tent in western Khan Younis, killing three people, medical sources cited by Anadolu reported. In Gaza City, four Palestinians were killed and others wounded in two Israeli airstrikes on residential apartments.
