Medics said that Israel carried out an air strike today (Sunday), killing at least two Palestinians who were riding in a car, and wounding 13 others in the Gaza Strip.
Footage circulated on social media showed that the raid, which targeted the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood west of Gaza City, completely destroyed the car. Paramedics told Reuters that they urged residents to provide any information that might help identify the two dead, whose bodies were torn apart by the explosion, according to Reuters news agency.
The Israeli army said that the raid targeted two Hamas fighters, without providing further information.
The ceasefire that was reached in October 2025 with the support of the United States stopped major combat operations in Gaza, but did not put an end to the Israeli raids, while little progress was made regarding a permanent end to the war.
Hamas accuses Israel of violating the ceasefire and undermining efforts to implement US President Donald Trump's broader plan to end the conflict in Gaza, which includes Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and Hamas giving up its weapons.
Israel says that Hamas is violating the agreement.
Gaza health officials say more than 1,300 Palestinians, most of them civilians, have been killed in the Strip since the ceasefire took effect, while the Israeli military says four of its soldiers were killed during that period.
Hamas does not usually reveal information about those killed among its fighters.
An Israeli soldier shot a Palestinian, wounding him in the leg, during a confrontation that broke out between residents of the town of Faqoua in the northern West Bank and Israeli settlers who entered the area with their livestock to graze on lands owned by Palestinians.
Eyewitnesses reported to the British newspaper The Guardian that a group of settlers entered the area with their livestock, prompting residents to try to prevent them.
Israeli forces intervened, and one of the soldiers shot Qasim Hussam, a Palestinian in his mid-thirties, wounding him in the leg.
Video footage showed a group of Israeli soldiers and settlers confronting unarmed Palestinians, before gunfire was heard.
In response to an inquiry from The Guardian newspaper, the Israeli army confirmed that it had received a report about the incident.
The Israeli army said: “Earlier on Saturday, a report was received regarding contact between Israeli civilians and Palestinians near the Faqoua area. An army force at the site fired into the air and towards a Palestinian.”
Muhammad Al-Sheikh (34 years old), who was standing next to Hossam, told the Guardian newspaper: “One of the soldiers shot Hossam and he fell to the ground. We immediately rushed to help him and move him from the place. We could not get an ambulance to the area, so we took him to the hospital in a private car.”
According to the Palestinian Red Crescent, Hossam was taken to the hospital and his injuries ranged from minor to moderate.
The Israeli army stated that the incident is subject to review by commanders, and that the results will be referred to the relevant authorities for scrutiny.
The incident comes in light of the escalation of attacks carried out by Israeli settlers in the West Bank, amid increasing criticism of the Israeli government regarding the extent of its ability or desire to limit these attacks.
On Saturday, various areas of the West Bank witnessed raids and arrests carried out by Israeli forces, which resulted in the arrest of 6 Palestinians and the injury of a 14-year-old boy with a fracture in his hand, according to the Palestinian News Agency. Israeli forces also set up checkpoints and stormed a number of towns and villages in the Jenin and Bethlehem governorates.
In a separate incident in early September, two Palestinian boys, one 16 years old and the other 19 years old, were killed after settlers entered the village of Al-Mughayir, in an incident that local sources and Israeli activists said took place under the protection of the Israeli police and army.
Data from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs indicate that more than 1,111 Palestinians, including at least 243 children, have been killed in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since October 7, 2023, in light of continuing tension and violence and escalating settler attacks.
The Djibouti authorities announced that about 1,400 people fled from Yemen to Djibouti, in light of the ongoing battles since September between the Yemeni government forces and the Houthi militia.
Since 2014, Yemen has witnessed a war between government forces and the Houthis, who have controlled vast areas of the country, including the capital, Sanaa.
After a surprise attack that lasted a week, the Houthis on Friday extended their control over the western coast of Yemen on the Red Sea.
They also took control of the four islands in the Bab al-Mandab region, which is a vital maritime navigation corridor whose importance increased after Tehran closed the Strait of Hormuz after the outbreak of war.
The Houthis took control of Mokha on Thursday, allowing them to advance towards additional coastal areas located to its south.
A post by Djibouti’s Minister of Economy, Elias Moussa Doualeh, on the “X” platform said: “1,400 refugees from Yemen arrived in Djibouti during the past twenty-four hours.”
Djibouti is a small country located in the Horn of Africa region opposite Yemen. It overlooks the Bab al-Mandab Strait, which connects the Gulf of Aden to the Red Sea and through which a large portion of trade between Asia and Europe passes.
Safia Ibrahim, the humanitarian response coordinator at the International Organization for Migration, said, according to Agence France-Presse, that among the arrivals were “women and children.”
She explained that the displaced people arrived in Obock in northern Djibouti, expecting “more people to arrive in the coming days.”
The United Nations International Organization for Migration reported that at least 76,000 people have been displaced in Yemen since July.
She explained that a quarter of these people were displaced during the past week.
