Israel kills 14-year-old, injures six in Gaza airstrike

An Israeli airstrike on the Al Mawasi area in southern Jan Yunis has resulted in the death of a 14-year-old Palestinian boy and injuries to six others, medical sources reported to EFE. Two of the wounded are in critical condition.

The attack targeted a group of people in the coastal zone, a frequent site of displacement for Gazans seeking refuge. The bodies of the deceased and two injured individuals were transported to Nasser Hospital in Jan Yunis.

This incident follows a ceasefire that has been in effect since October 2025. However, Israeli forces continue to conduct daily operations in Gaza, often targeting Palestinians who approach their positions. The Ministry of Health in Gaza reports that at least 1,030 people have been killed and approximately 3,300 injured since the ceasefire began.

The UN's Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Palestinian Territories has previously accused Israel of genocide. Most recently, the commission expanded its findings, highlighting the unprecedented number of deaths, injuries, and trauma inflicted upon Palestinian children by Israeli military actions. Since the war began in October 2023, Gaza's Ministry of Health estimates over 73,000 Gazans have died, including around 20,000 children.
