At least 17 Palestinians, including six children, were killed in Israeli strikes in Gaza, according to hospital officials. The strikes followed an incident in which a soldier was seriously wounded by gunfire in the north of the Gaza Strip, near a zone controlled by Israel under a ceasefire agreement. Israeli forces responded with armoured units and airstrikes, targeting areas in Gaza City and Khan Younis, where tents and homes were hit. Both sides have accused each other of repeated violations since the ceasefire began, and the conflict continues to cause significant casualties among civilians and soldiers alike.
