💢 Israeli forces kill three Palestinians in Gaza, including a 12-year-old boy, despite ceasefire
 
🔸 In Rafah's al-Mawasi area, Israeli forces shot and killed 12-year-old Mohammed Saif al-Din al-Shakhreeti as he sat outside his family's displacement tent.

🔸 An Israeli drone strike on Jouls Street in central Nuseirat refugee camp killed one person.

🔸 Qusai Muammar Hillis died of wounds sustained in an Israeli strike on Gaza City weeks ago.

🔸 Israeli forces stationed east of Deir al-Balah shot and wounded several people, and a drone strike near the al-Iqlimi junction in Khan Younis's al-Mawasi area wounded others, including children.

🔸 Israeli tanks fired heavily toward displacement tents in Rafah's al-Mawasi and southern Khan Younis, shelled eastern Khan Younis, and fired on the Hamad City area and the al-Salateen and al-Atatra areas west of Beit Lahia.

The attacks continue despite the ceasefire in effect since October 2025 and President Trump's July 31 announcement of a "new agreement" to begin the second phase of the Gaza "roadmap." Almost all of Gaza's population still lives in tents, shelters, and damaged buildings, with reconstruction blocked.
