In the southern city of Khan Younus, three people were killed and six others injured in similar air raids on the eastern districts of the city.

In Bir Al-Na'ja district of Jabalia town, to the north of the Strip, Saqr Rayhan, 35, was killed and six others wounded by an Israeli gunship.
The Israeli artillery continued pounding the eastern parts of Hajar Al-Dik village, east Gaza, and Al-Sawareha district in Al-Nusairat refugee camp, inflicting extensive material damage and a yet-to-be-specified number of casualties.(*)
