GAZA, Wednesday, July 29, 2026 (WAFA) – Two Palestinians were killed on Wednesday evening in Israeli strikes in the cities of Gaza and Khan Younis, according to medical sources at Al-Shifa Hospital.
They announced that an Israeli combat drone struck passersby near the intersection of Ahmed Abdel Aziz Street and Abdel Qader al-Husseini Street in the Rimal neighborhood, claiming the life of a civilian and injuring several others.
In the southern genocide-stricken Strip, medical sources at Nasser Hospital confirmed that the body of a slain civilian and several casualties arrived at the hospital following a combat drone strike that targeted a group of civilians near Street 5 in the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis.
Israel has waged a military onslaught on the Strip since 7 October 2023, killing 73,335 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 174,052 others. It has destroyed 90% of the Strip’s infrastructure, with the cost of Gaza reconstruction estimated at $70 billion.
Since the Gaza ceasefire agreement went into effect on October 11, 2025, Israel has killed 1,209 Palestinians and injured 3,943 others. The bodies of at least 803 slain Palestinians have been recovered during the same period.
In the last 24 hours, the bodies of two slain Palestinians were admitted to Gaza hospitals along with 29 casualties.
The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
