Israel kills Palestinian, destroys mosque in Gaza

What the report says

Al Jazeera, citing its staff and Reuters, reported that Israeli attacks in Gaza killed at least one Palestinian, injured more than a dozen people and destroyed the Al-Muttaqin Mosque in Gaza City. The report said the mosque, located near the YMCA building, was hit by Israeli jets on Tuesday, with an AFP image showing smoke and flames rising during the strike on July 28, 2026.

Al Jazeera correspondent Tareq Abu Azzoum, reporting from Deir el-Balah, said Israeli warplanes carried out multiple strikes in central and northern Gaza and that residents had received warnings but had little time to respond. In a separate attack on Nuseirat refugee camp, he said, a group of Palestinians in a crowded market was struck, killing one person and injuring at least 20, according to health officials he contacted.

The report also linked the latest attacks to wider developments around Gaza, noting that Israel’s security cabinet on Sunday approved a measure that could allow the first members of an International Stabilization Force into Gaza under a US-brokered ceasefire that began last October. Al Jazeera did not report in the supplied text whether that force had entered Gaza or whether the latest strikes affected the plan.

In the occupied West Bank, Al Jazeera reported that eight Palestinians left their home in Abu Najim, near Bethlehem, after Israeli settlers allegedly set it on fire, citing the Palestinian Red Crescent. The article also cited Wafa news agency reporting Israeli military orders to seize about 200 dunums of land in Jenin governorate, including for military roads linked to settlement outposts.
