GAZA — Six Palestinians, including two children, were wounded in separate Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip despite a ceasefire, Middle East Eye reported, citing information carried by the official Palestinian news agency Wafa.
According to local sources cited by Wafa, an Israeli drone struck a shelter housing displaced people in southern Gaza. Four people were injured in the attack, including the two children. One of those wounded was reported to be in serious condition.
No further information was provided about the identities or ages of the wounded, the location of the shelter within southern Gaza, or the timing of the drone attack. The available report also did not give details about the extent of the children’s injuries or the condition of the other person wounded at the shelter.
In a separate incident, Israeli soldiers seriously wounded two Palestinians southeast of Deir el-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, according to the same account. The report did not specify the circumstances of that incident or provide information about the identities of the two people.
The two incidents brought the number of Palestinians reported wounded in the latest attacks to six. Four were injured at the shelter in southern Gaza, while two others were wounded near Deir el-Balah. At least two of the six were described as being in serious condition: one person injured in the drone strike and the two Palestinians wounded southeast of Deir el-Balah were reported seriously hurt, though no additional medical details were available.
Middle East Eye reported the attacks as having occurred despite the ceasefire. The source material did not provide further details about the ceasefire, including its terms, timing or the parties’ accounts of the incidents. It also contained no statement from Israeli authorities regarding either the drone strike on the shelter or the shooting southeast of Deir el-Balah.
The reported strike hit a site being used to accommodate Palestinians displaced in southern Gaza. Beyond identifying it as a shelter, the account did not state how many people were staying there or whether the structure sustained damage. No deaths were reported in either incident in the information provided by Middle East Eye and Wafa.
