Israeli drone kills Palestinian in Gaza, settlers kill another in West Bank

What the report says

Al Jazeera reported that Israeli military and settler violence killed two Palestinians on Thursday, one in the Gaza Strip and another in the occupied West Bank, as deaths continued to rise in both areas. In southern Gaza, an Israeli drone strike hit a tent sheltering displaced people in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis, killing Tamer al-Hamayda, 42, and wounding three others, according to the report. Medical staff at Nasser Medical Complex also said another Palestinian later died from injuries sustained in an earlier drone strike in Jabalia refugee camp.

The article said Israeli forces conducted additional demolition activity east of Gaza City’s al-Tuffah neighbourhood. Gaza’s Health Ministry reported eight more deaths and 26 injuries in the previous 24 hours, bringing its count since the October 2025 ceasefire to 1,439 killed and 5,052 wounded, with 834 bodies recovered from rubble. It also reiterated the ministry’s overall war toll since October 2023.

In the occupied West Bank, settlers shot dead 51-year-old Mashhour Yassin and wounded another Palestinian during an attack on the village of Yasuf, north of Ramallah. Local officials told AFP that dozens of settlers, some armed with sticks and guns, attacked homes in the village, which sits near several Israeli settlements. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry accused Israeli forces of coordinating with settlers, while the report noted a broader rise in settler attacks in recent months. Separately, the UN has said more than 1,100 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since October 2023.
