IDF Strikes Kill 3 Palestinians in Deir al-Balah, Zawayda, and Khan Younis

Israeli forces carried out a wave of strikes across central and southern Gaza on June 2, 2026. One Palestinian was killed and four others wounded when an IDF airstrike struck a vehicle east of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza. In the nearby village of Zawayda, a second strike killed one Palestinian and wounded another. A third Palestinian man was shot dead by Israeli forces in northwest Khan Younis. The multi-location attack pattern — consistent with near-daily Israeli operations under the October 2025 ceasefire — was confirmed by the Times of Israel liveblog and Gaza medical sources who reported the casualties transferred to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital and Nasser Hospital respectively. The strikes bring the documented post-ceasefire Palestinian death toll to approximately 933+, against 3,005+ Israeli violations documented by Gaza's Government Media Office as of May 27, 2026.
