At least one Palestinian was killed, and several others were wounded on Monday in Israeli attacks targeting al-Mawasi in southern Gaza, an area filled with sprawling tent encampments housing Palestinian families displaced by Israel’s genocidal war.
The Anadolu Agency reported that an Israeli strike in al-Mawasi killed one Palestinian man and wounded four people, including a mother and her two children. Later in the day, the Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that an Israeli drone targeted a tent in the Algerian Camp within al-Mawasi, injuring three people, including a woman and a child.
Anadolu also reported attacks in northwestern Gaza, including naval fire that hit a woman in the head. A child was also reportedly shot in the chest by Israeli forces in the area.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said in its daily update on Monday, released about midday Gaza time, that Israeli forces killed at least three Palestinians and wounded 26 over the previous 24-hour period. Two other Palestinians died of wounds sustained in previous attacks, and one body was recovered from the rubble.
Since the so-called ceasefire deal was signed nearly one year ago in October 2025, the IDF has killed 1,460 Palestinians and wounded 5,116. Gaza’s Government Media Office has said that it has recorded more than 5,000 Israeli ceasefire violations.
The US continues to back Israel’s attacks in Gaza despite President Trump and the so-called Board of Peace recently announcing that Hamas had agreed to a US-proposed disarmament deal.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected the potential agreement, and other senior Israeli ministers continue to make clear that their ultimate goal for Gaza is the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian population.
