Summary
At least 1 person was killed and more than 12 displaced Palestinians were wounded in an Israeli strike early Friday in al-Mawasi in south Gaza.
The attack hit displaced people sheltering in an area where civilians had gathered, adding to the toll from Israeli operations in the enclave.
In the wider region, Israeli attacks also continued across southern Lebanon despite a ceasefire reached late Wednesday, including a strike near Jabal Amel Hospital that wounded at least 12 civilians.
The violence came as Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem demanded a comprehensive ceasefire and full Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory, while Donald Trump said he had spoken with both Israel's prime minister and Hezbollah.

Overview
Despite a declared ceasefire beginning on October 11, Israeli military actions in Gaza have continued, causing a severe civilian toll. As of May 31, 2026, 929 Palestinians have been killed and 2,811 wounded since the ceasefire, with recovery teams retrieving 781 bodies from destroyed areas. These recent strikes add to a devastating total of at least 72,700 people killed since October 2023, with thousands more missing and presumed dead under rubble. The ongoing violence highlights the persistent destruction and humanitarian crisis facing Gaza’s population, even after official efforts to halt the conflict.
