Witnesses also reported shelling and heavy tank fire from Israeli forces in the Shakoush area, north of Rafah. Anadolu reported that three Palestinians, including a woman, were shot when Israeli forces opened fire towards the Hamad City residential area north of Khan Younis and two others were injured by shrapnel from an artillery shell in the al-Amal neighbourhood in central Khan Younis.
