Further south, a 25-year-old man, Muhannad Othmane Farwana, was killed in the morning "in a strike targeting a displacement tent," according to Civil Defense, and Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis said it had treated several wounded.

The Israeli army claimed the elimination of Muhannad Farwana in a "precision strike" and described him as "a cell commander" of Hamas's armed wing.

The violence continued despite the truce reached in October 2025, with the Gaza Health Ministry saying at least 951 Palestinians have been killed since October 7, 2023, and the Israeli army reporting five of its own soldiers killed in the same period.

In Gaza, Israeli attacks also hit refugee camps as thirst threatened displaced people, with the Gulf newspaper saying ten Palestinians were killed on Saturday including a television cameraman and four members of the same family.

The outlet said Ahmed Washah, a photographer for Qatar's Al Jazeera Mubasher channel, was killed by an Israeli drone strike that targeted a house in the al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, and Al Jazeera Mubasher confirmed the death of its photographer Washah.

In Gaza City, four Palestinians from the al-Safdi family were killed by a drone strike that targeted their home near the Airport Junction in the city center, including Hussein and Rana and their daughters Zina (6) and Lana (13).

The same report said the elderly Kamal Ahmed Al-Sayyid (62) was killed by Israeli naval fire that targeted the tents of displaced people on Sea Street in the Al-Amadi area west of the city.

It also reported that the Association of Desalination Plant Owners said it was surprised by a call from a UNICEF representative about a disruption in providing diesel to desalination plants, warning that some plants had effectively ceased operations on Friday and Saturday due to the fuel shortage.

Euronews reported that on March 26 in Deir al-Balāḥ, an Israeli air strike near tents housing displaced Palestinians killed at least one person and left seven injured, according to Al-Aqsa Hospital.

The report said witnesses told the Associated Press they had received calls from people presenting themselves as Israeli soldiers warning them to stay about 500 meters away before the strike, but several people were injured by debris after gathering nearby to observe the consequences of the blast.

In another account, SANA said eight Palestinians were killed and several others injured in an Israeli bombardment on various areas in the northern and southern Gaza Strip, with four Palestinians killed when forces bombed a displacement tent in the Al-Faluja area, west of Jabalia.

SANA also said four more Palestinians were killed in Israeli artillery fire targeting several sectors south of Khan Younis, while it described continued destruction of houses north of the city of Gaza.

Al-Jazeera Net framed the broader toll by saying that on the thousandth day of Gaza's genocide, Israeli airstrikes claimed the lives of four martyrs, and it stated that the government information office in the Strip counted 73,066 martyrs since the start of the war on 7 October 2023, including more than 21,500 children.
