According to medical sources and eyewitnesses, the Israeli attacks targeted homes, gatherings of Palestinian civilians, aid workers, and fishermen.
In the Al-Daraj neighborhood, east of Gaza City, three Palestinians, including a child, were killed in a helicopter strike on a building housing displaced people. Others were injured in a shelling that targeted an apartment in a building opposite Al-Shifa Hospital, west of the city.
In western Gaza, fisherman Ismail Kamal Salah was killed and his brother was injured by Israeli gunboat fire while they were working on a small boat.
In the eastern part of the city, the Israeli occupation forces continue to demolish homes and buildings using booby-trapped robots in the Zeitoun and Sabra neighborhoods, alongside artillery and air strikes, as part of the ongoing aggression that has been ongoing for nearly a week.
In the central Gaza Strip, a Palestinian woman was killed and others were injured when Israeli helicopters targeted an apartment building in the Nuseirat refugee camp. Three Palestinians were also killed in Block 3 of the Bureij refugee camp when an Israeli drone targeted a gathering of civilians.
A number of civilians waiting for aid were also injured on Salah al-Din Street, south of the Wadi Gaza area in the central Gaza Strip.

In a related development, Amnesty International said that Israel is pursuing a "deliberate" starvation policy in Gaza, warning that the Strip is on the brink of imminent famine.
After interviewing 19 displaced persons and two medical personnel, the organization confirmed that Israel is carrying out a systematic campaign to destroy the health, safety, and social fabric of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The organization said, "These deliberate consequences are the result of Israeli plans and policies implemented over the past 22 months to impose calculated living conditions that lead to the physical destruction of Palestinians in Gaza, as part of the ongoing genocide against Palestinians in the Strip." In April, Amnesty International stated that Israel was committing "genocide on live television" in Gaza.
The United Nations World Food Programme also confirmed in August that "half a million people are on the brink of famine" in the Gaza Strip, and that 300,000 children are at risk of malnutrition, with the situation exacerbated by the failure to allow sufficient aid trucks into the Strip.
Since March 2, Israel has closed all crossings into Gaza, preventing the entry of any humanitarian aid. This has plunged the Strip into a state of famine despite the backlog of aid trucks at its borders. Israel allows in limited quantities that fall far short of the minimum needs of starving Palestinians.
Far from the oversight of the United Nations and international relief organizations, Tel Aviv began implementing an aid distribution plan on May 27, which Palestinians have come to call "death traps." This plan is supported by Israel and the United States, but rejected by the United Nations.
With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, including killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring all international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt it.
The Israeli genocide left 61,944 Palestinians dead and 155,886 injured, most of them children and women. More than 9,000 people were missing, hundreds of thousands were displaced, and a famine claimed the lives of 258 people, including 110 children.
