Child succumbs
In northern Gaza City, 10-year-old Abdul Rahman Khalil Awad died on Wednesday after succumbing to severe wounds sustained two days earlier during an Israeli strike on the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood, medical officials confirmed.
Concurrently, Israeli naval gunboats opened machine-gun fire off the coastline of Gaza City on Wednesday morning, disrupting local Palestinian fishing activities.
Sporadic gunfire and artillery shelling were also recorded in eastern Gaza City and across the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, areas remaining under direct Israeli military occupation.
Since October 2023, Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians and wounded over 175,000 others, damaging or destroying roughly 90 percent of the enclave’s civilian infrastructure.
According to the latest data released by Gaza’s Health Ministry, Israeli violations of the truce agreement have killed 1,534 Palestinians and wounded 5,486 others.
