One person was killed and others injured in an Israeli attack on a tent sheltering displaced people west of Gaza City near the Shati refugee camp; a drone strike hit a displacement tent in the al-Mawasi area of western Khan Younis, killing one and injuring others; and a drone strike targeted an electric bicycle at the Al-Sinaa intersection in west Gaza City, killing one and critically injuring several more. The IDF said its forces separately killed Bilal Ibrahim Saleh Raqi'i, identified as a commander in Hamas's anti-tank unit, in a strike on Shati camp, and Azzam Rifaat Abd Abadala, identified as a member of Hamas's Khan Younis Brigade, in a strike on southern Gaza.
