Several Palestinians were injured when they were targeted by Israeli occupation forces in the central Gaza Strip, Wafa reports.

According to Wafa’s correspondent, an Israeli drone attacked a group of people who were gathering firewood east of the village of Johr al-Dik in the central Gaza Strip, resulting in several injuries.

Since morning, 12 people, including a child and three journalists, were killed in a series of Israeli attacks across Gaza. This brings the total number of casualties since the ceasefire agreement came into effect on January 19, 2025, to 150 individuals.
