  • An Israeli drone strike on a cafe in southern Gaza killed two people and injured six others.
  • The Israeli military stated the target was "terrorists," but did not identify the deceased.
  • The incident occurred in Mawasi, a densely populated area where civilians have been directed to seek refuge, and brings the total Gazan deaths during the ceasefire to over 1,000.

Two individuals were killed and six others wounded Wednesday when an Israeli drone targeted a cafe on the beach in southern Gaza's city of Khan Younis. The Nasser Hospital reported the casualties.

The Israeli military confirmed the strike, describing it as a targeted attack against "terrorists," a term it frequently uses for its objectives. However, the military did not specify the identities of those killed or confirm if they belonged to any armed groups in the Strip.

Images circulating on Palestinian channels depict a destroyed umbrella and makeshift table on the Mawasi beach in the southwest. Beneath it, several bodies lay on the ground, with one person seen attempting to crawl away from the scene. Mawasi, located west of Khan Younis, has become one of the most densely populated areas in Gaza during the ongoing conflict, as the Israeli army has repeatedly designated it as a safe zone for displaced civilians.

This strike follows a pattern of recent Israeli operations. The military announced Wednesday that Muhammad Nimruti, identified as a "platoon commander" in Hamas's armed wing, was killed in a bombing in central Gaza on Saturday. According to Gaza's Hamas-run Health Ministry, the number of Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire began in 2025 has now surpassed 1,000. The total death toll since October 7, 2023, stands at over 73,000.
