Gaza, Khan Younis, Al-Mawasi, Southern Gaza
At least 2 martyred

Israel violated the ceasefire by killing Dana Abu Ma‘rouf, a child who was playing with her friends in Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip. In a footage published by IDF, Israel claimed it targeted “a terrorist preparing an imminent attack.”

Israel released a video of the strike, with part of the right side obscured, concealing evidence of the attack.

Names of the martyrs:

  1. Ahmad Maher Al-Qidra
  2. Dana Abdul-Razzaq Abu Ma’rouf,

At least four others were wounded in the attack incuding the two sisters of Dana Abu Ma‘rouf: Hiba (5) and Maryam (7) Abu Jalal

The details for each video come from social media. None of it has been verified.
