In the afternoon, at least 20 Palestinians were reported killed, and many others injured in separate bombings across the region. Medical sources confirmed that three individuals lost their lives in a targeted Israeli strike on a group of civilians in the Khirbat al-Addas area, east of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip. The bodies were transferred to the European Gaza Hospital in Khan Younis for identification. Meanwhile, seven people were killed in an Israeli airstr ike on Al-Attar Street, located in the southern part of the al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis.
