The body of Tamer al-Hamayda, 42, and three wounded people were brought to Nasser Medical Complex on Thursday after the strike hit a tent sheltering displaced Palestinians in the al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis on Gaza's southern coast, Al Jazeera said. Another Palestinian succumbed to wounds sustained in an earlier Israeli drone strike on Tuesday that targeted a gathering of Palestinians in Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, according to medical personnel at Nasser Medical Complex. Israeli forces also carried out a large-scale demolition operation targeting buildings east of Gaza City's al-Tuffah neighbourhood.

Health Ministry: 8 dead, 26 wounded in 24 hours

The Gaza Health Ministry reported eight new deaths and 26 wounded over the past 24 hours, putting the toll since the ceasefire took effect in October 2025 at 1,439 killed and 5,052 wounded, with 834 bodies recovered from the rubble, Al Jazeera reported. The ministry said Israel's war on Gaza has killed at least 74,040 Palestinians and wounded 175,168 since October 2023. The figures are the ministry's reported toll and are attributed to it.

Yasuf: mayor says dozens of settlers attacked the village

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli settlers shot dead a Palestinian man and wounded another during a raid on the village of Yasuf, north of Ramallah, on Thursday. Mashhour Yassin, 51, was shot dead by settler gunfire, the Palestinian Health Ministry said. Yasuf Mayor Jumaa Abdel Fattah told the AFP news agency that dozens of Israeli settlers armed with sticks and firearms had attacked the village, which lies between four Israeli settlements. "Yassin was at his doorstep when the settlers attacked the village homes. He went out to defend his house," Abdel Fattah said, adding that Yassin's nephew was also wounded in the attack. The mayor said the settlers had come from Havat Anton, an outpost established in July that has previously attacked the village's residents.

The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Israeli forces had detained an ambulance during the incident, seizing its key, and described the killing as part of what it called a serious and continuous escalation in organised settler attacks. Those characterisations are the ministry's allegations; no Israeli military comment on the Yasuf incident was included in the reporting.

The wider toll in the West Bank

More than 500,000 Israelis live in West Bank settlements considered illegal under international law. According to the UN, at least 1,112 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank have been killed by Israeli forces or settlers since October 2023, including at least 37 killed by settlers, Al Jazeera reported. Palestinians in the West Bank have reported a surge in settler attacks in recent months.
