Simultaneously, the Gaza Health Ministry reported that seven Palestinians were killed and 18 injured within a 24-hour period. This includes six fatalities resulting from gunfire and one individual recovered from building debris. Reports indicate that Israeli forces conducted demolitions of facilities east of Gaza City and utilized artillery in the eastern neighborhoods of Khan Younis.
