Palestinian child killed by Israeli forces in southern Gaza

A Palestinian child has been killed by Israeli troops in the al-Mawasi area of southern Gaza. The attack took place outside the Israeli military’s deployment areas in southern Gaza, sources at Nasser Medical Complex told Al Jazeera.

Al-Mawasi, near the city of Khan Younis, is home to a sprawling displacement camp where tens of thousands of Palestinians live in squalor. Despite ongoing deadly strikes, Israel has described the area as a “humanitarian safe zone“.

The victim was a 3-year-old boy named Iyad Ahmed Naeem al-Raba’i, Wafa news agency reported. He was killed when Israeli gunboats shelled tents housing displaced people in al-Mawasi.


Since the ceasefire took effect on October 10, 2025, Israel has killed more than 500 Palestinians across Gaza and wounded 1,400 others, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.


One killed in Israeli attack in northern Gaza despite ‘ceasefire’

One person has been killed and several others injured following an Israeli attack within the military’s deployment area east of Jabalia, in the northern Gaza Strip, according to a source at al-Shifa Hospital.


Child’s killing shows al-Mawasi ‘anything but a safe zone’

In the past hour or so a three-year-old child has been killed by Israel gunfire in the al-Mawasi area. It’s an ongoing pattern of killing in an area that Israel has repeatedly described as a “safe zone”.

It’s also happened in the past few days at the height of talks about reopening the Rafah crossing. The Israeli military carried out massive attacks across the Gaza Strip killing 31 Palestinians – including women and children.

Today as we drove through Nasser Medical Complex the sounds of machine gun fire and heavy artillery could be heard clearly along the eastern part of Gaza of what’s become known as the “yellow line”.

Israeli gunfire happens every single day causing panic and stress among residents here, particularly in an area that should have been a safe zone.
