An Israeli drone strike hit a tent sheltering displaced Palestinians in Khan Younis, killing two people, including a child, Al Jazeera reported. Several others were wounded in the attack, according to the report.

The strike targeted a makeshift shelter in southern Gaza, where displaced Palestinians have been living amid the war, Al Jazeera reported. The identities of those killed were not provided in the report.

Palestinian officials said more than 1,005 people have been killed in Israeli attacks since a U.S.-brokered ceasefire in Gaza took effect, according to Al Jazeera.

The reported attack adds to continued Palestinian casualty claims during the ceasefire period. Al Jazeera reported the latest strike on June 24, 2026.
