- Israeli tank and air attacks killed 24 Palestinians, including a medic who died in a follow-up strike in Khan Younis.
- The strikes followed a shooting incident injuring an Israeli soldier and also hit Gaza City and southern areas.
- The Rafah crossing was temporarily closed by Israel for security reasons, postponing the passage of Palestinian patients to Egypt.
- Despite the ceasefire that began in October, violence continues nearly daily, with Israel returning bodies and remains to Gaza.
While we were sleeping in our house, the tank shelled us and the shells hit our house, our children were martyred - my son was martyred, my brother's son and daughter were martyred ... We have nothing to do with anything, we are peaceful people.— Abu Mohamed Habouch, speaking at a funeral for his family.
