Overview

  • Israel’s military said troops fired the round during operations near the ceasefire’s Yellow Line and that it veered off its intended target.
  • Health officials reported at least 10 people wounded, with Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City receiving ten patients.
  • The army opened an investigation into the incident and did not say whether its forces crossed the demarcation.
  • Palestinian health authorities report more than 370 deaths from Israeli fire since the truce and attribute some civilian casualties to poorly marked boundaries, while Israel cites responses to Hamas violations and says most of those killed were militants.
  • The broader process to move into the truce’s second phase remains stalled as Israel demands the return of hostage Ran Gvili’s remains before proceeding.
