An Israeli quadcopter drone attack in Khan Younis (a city in southern Gaza) critically wounded a 13-year-old boy and injured his father on Wednesday, with the child suffering shrapnel wounds to the head and leg. The same day, an Israeli air strike in Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza killed a municipal worker and wounded five others, with civil defence officials identifying the victim as Mohanad Saada, who was part of a team repairing a water well. Gaza's Government Media Office says Israeli attacks since a US-backed ceasefire took effect last October have killed at least 1,259 Palestinians and wounded more than 4,100 others, with the total death toll since October 2023 now exceeding 73,000.
