Overview

• At least 10 civilians, including six children, were killed and 16 injured when a July 13 IDF strike misfired at a water distribution point in Nuseirat refugee camp.
• The Israel Defense Forces said the missile was aimed at an Islamic Jihad militant but the munition fell dozens of meters off-target and is now under military review.
• Gaza’s death toll has risen above 58,000 since October 2023, with more than half of the fatalities reported as women and children by the Hamas-run health ministry.
• Severe fuel shortages have forced desalination plants offline, driving desperate residents to queue at scarce water collection centers under dangerous conditions.
• Indirect ceasefire negotiations in Doha have stalled over Israeli troop deployment demands, leaving no clear path to a truce or hostage-release agreement.
