Several Palestinians killed; others injured by Israeli shelling across Gaza

GAZA, June 16 (YPA) -Several Palestinian civilians, including children, have been killed or injured by Israeli gunfire and shelling of various parts of the Gaza Strip since early Monday morning.

Medical sources confirmed the killing of two Palestinian fishermen and the disappearance of a third after Israeli naval forces opened fire on their boat off the coast of Gaza City.

In southern Gaza, three Palestinians were killed and at least 20 others injured while waiting for humanitarian aid near the Al-‘Alam area west of Rafah, where Israeli forces have previously targeted civilians gathering for food assistance.

Several injuries were reported in the eastern neighborhoods of Gaza City — specifically in Al-Tuffah, Al-Zaytoun, and Al-Shuja’iyya — as well as in areas surrounding Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, due to Israeli gunfire and shelling.

Further north, ten civilians were wounded as Israeli forces opened fire on crowds waiting for aid distribution west of Beit Lahia, amid ongoing heavy shelling of the area’s northwestern outskirts.

Meanwhile, the northwestern areas of Beit Lahia are currently under intense artillery bombardment.
