An Israeli air attack near the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza has resulted in the death of at least one person and left two others wounded, according to Palestinian media reports.

The strike occurred near Salah al-Din Street on Sunday morning, as reported by the official Palestinian news agency Wafa. This incident follows a previous attack a day prior, when an Israeli drone targeted the al-Hasanat family in the central city of Deir el-Balah, killing one person and wounding several others, as noted by Al Jazeera’s Ashraf Abu Amra reporting from the city.

Statistics from Gaza’s Ministry of Health indicate that at least 1,286 Palestinians have lost their lives in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip since the implementation of the ceasefire agreement in October. Furthermore, since the onset of the conflict in October 2023, Israeli forces have killed more than 73,400 Palestinians in the territory.
