Nuseirat strike and toll
An Israeli drone strike killed at least one person and injured several others in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, Al Jazeera reported citing medical sources, with the drone reportedly targeting a tent sheltering displaced people inside the camp.
The Middle East Eye report also said more than 73,300 Palestinians have been killed by Israel since 7 October 2023, and that 1,180 of those killings occurred since a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel took effect in October.
In a separate account of Israeli attacks across Gaza, TRT World said Israel killed five Palestinians and wounded several others, including a Palestinian man and his daughter killed in a drone strike on the Al-Yaman Al-Saeed shelter for displaced people in the Jabalia refugee camp.
TRT World added that Gaza's Health Ministry said Israel has killed at least 1,158 Palestinians and wounded 3,756 others in violations of the ceasefire, and that about 90 percent of Gaza's civilian infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed.
The same TRT World report said Israeli officials claimed the military now occupies more than 70 percent of the enclave, up from 53 percent under the October 2025 ceasefire agreement.
Voices, accusations, and UN
In Gaza City’s Sabra neighborhood, health officials said an Israeli strike killed Firas al-Masri, his wife Salsabeel, their three daughters and son, and Democracy Now! quoted Abu Yusuf al-Masri saying, "We were unable to save our grandchildren and children from the flames and the devastation."
Abu Yusuf al-Masri continued, "Six people were martyred, most of them children and women, without mercy and without any prior warning," as the report described the attack as coming without warning around 2 a.m.
France 24 reported that the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights condemned on Tuesday the Israeli army's recent 'intensification' of its attacks in the Gaza Strip, and it quoted spokesperson Thamin Al-Khitan saying, "there is no safe place yet for Palestinians in Gaza."
France 24 also said the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights warned that between July 13 and 20 Israeli attacks killed 'no fewer than 57 Palestinians, including six children and eight women.'
In the same week, Al Jazeera said Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz told Channel 14 while touring northern Gaza that he felt satisfaction from scenes of destruction, which he said resulted from a deliberate Israeli policy.
What comes next
Beyond the immediate strikes, the sources describe a widening humanitarian and political picture, including Al Jazeera’s account that the UN human rights office said Israeli attacks have killed at least 57 Palestinians, including six children and eight women, between July 13 and 20.
“Sixty-nine Palestinians have been killed in Gaza by Israel since our last weekly briefing, marking an intensification of the brutality unleashed on the Gazan population crushed by the illegal siege imposed by Israel”
Al Jazeera also reported that Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz said he was studying the establishment of three military-style settlement outposts in northern Gaza, and it linked his statements to a march by the Nachala settler movement to the Gaza border fence.
In that same Al Jazeera report, it said right-wing Israelis accompanied by more than a dozen ministers and legislators, including National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, endorsed calls for the re-establishment of settlements inside Gaza.
Al Jazeera further said the Israeli-controlled “Yellow Line” continued expanding westward, with new blocks placed near al-Qarara and reaching the Abu Miri roundabout east of Deir el-Balah, forcing hundreds more families to flee Israel’s advance.
The report also tied the escalation to deteriorating humanitarian conditions, stating that 63 percent of households in Gaza now access less than six litres of drinking water a day and that 60 percent live within 10 metres of exposed sewage.
