Israeli strikes and settler actions increase civilian harm in Gaza and West Bank
Israeli drone operations across the Gaza Strip have been reported alongside gunfire from Israeli troops into the Nuseirat and al‑Bureij refugee camps, striking tents that shelter displaced residents. A recent "double‑tap" strike earlier in the week killed a paramedic and a 15‑year‑old schoolboy, which Israeli officials said targeted Hamas operatives. In the West Bank, Israeli colonists opened live fire on homes in Al‑Mughayyir and later cut the water supply to Ad‑Daqiqah in Masafer Yatta, leaving roughly 700 people without water.
Israeli troops also established a checkpoint beneath Jabara Bridge. The series of actions has heightened civilian casualties and strained the humanitarian situation.
