Israeli military attacks across the Gaza Strip killed at least two Palestinians and wounded five others on Tuesday, coinciding with Israel’s parliamentary elections.
Medical sources told Anadolu that Israeli troops shot dead 28-year-old Mahmoud Samih al-Harsh on al-Hawja Street in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.
Another Palestinian died in an Israeli strike near the al-Alam roundabout in the al-Mawasi area of Rafah in southern Gaza. Medical teams later recovered his body, though his identity was not immediately known.
In Khan Younis, six-year-old Tahani Mohammed Saeed Shalalfeh died from wounds sustained when Israeli forces opened fire in al-Mawasi on Monday. Ahmed Yassin Bseiso also succumbed to injuries sustained days earlier in an Israeli strike on al-Thawra Street in central Gaza City.
Civil defense sources reported that a fisherman was wounded by shrapnel from a bomb dropped by an Israeli drone off the coast of Khan Younis. Israeli gunfire wounded two additional Palestinians in separate incidents in Qizan Rashwan and east of Hamad City.
A medical source at Al-Awda Hospital said two more Palestinians, including a child, were wounded by Israeli fire east of the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza. Local sources also reported that Israeli naval vessels shelled and opened machine-gun fire toward Palestinians on the beach near the al-Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City.
Since October 2023, Israel’s war on Gaza has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians and wounded over 175,000. The campaign has also caused widespread destruction affecting around 90% of the territory’s civilian infrastructure.
More than 1,500 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip since an October 2025 ceasefire went into effect.
