Israeli forces have killed at least three Palestinians and wounded six others across the Gaza Strip amid continued violations of the so-called ceasefire, while a separate Israeli assault in the occupied West Bank has left a 14-year-old boy dead and two other teenagers wounded.

The latest Israeli attacks on Tuesday targeted areas across Gaza, killing two children and a 43-year-old man, among others, and injuring a displaced woman.

The Palestinian man and his 13-year-old son were killed when an Israeli drone struck the roof of a building sheltering displaced civilians in the Zeitoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City. The man's wife and another Palestinian were wounded in the strike.

The targeted building belonged to the Ministry of Endowments in the Asqoula area and had been used as a shelter for displaced families.

Earlier, a 26-year-old Palestinian man was killed by Israeli forces in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza. A displaced woman was also moderately wounded by Israeli gunfire in the Bir 19 area, while a five-year-old child was injured inside Mustafa Hafez School, which is sheltering displaced Palestinians in the city.

Israeli naval forces also opened fire on fishing boats off the coast of Khan Yunis, wounding a fisherman and setting two boats ablaze, according to local sources.

Another boy was wounded when Israeli military vehicles opened fire toward tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in the Batn al-Samin area, south of Khan Yunis.

Witnesses reported intense artillery shelling and heavy gunfire from Israeli military vehicles in areas south and east of Khan Yunis.

In central Gaza, Israeli military vehicles advanced southeast of the Maghazi refugee camp, accompanied by heavy gunfire and artillery shelling. Israeli forces also demolished evacuated homes and civilian structures in the vicinity.

Separately, Israeli forces killed a 14-year-old Palestinian boy during a military operation in the village of Burqa, northwest of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian officials said on Tuesday.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health identified the victim as Moataz Iyad and said Israeli authorities were withholding his body.

Two other teenagers, aged 17 and 19, were wounded by Israeli gunfire. The younger teenager sustained injuries to his abdomen and pelvis, while the older one was shot in the hand.

Israeli soldiers also detained Iyad's father, blocked an ambulance from reaching the wounded and briefly detained three volunteer paramedics from the Palestine Red Crescent Society.

The killing comes amid escalating Israeli military operations and settler violence across the occupied West Bank.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) documented more than 2,060 settler attacks resulting in Palestinian casualties or property damage across approximately 300 West Bank communities between January 1 and October 12, 2026.

According to Gaza's Health Ministry, Israeli attacks have killed at least 1,615 Palestinians and wounded 5,849 others since the "ceasefire" came into effect on October 10, 2025.

The ministry said the overall death toll from Israel's genocide in Gaza since October 2023 has exceeded 74,600 Palestinians, with more than 175,000 others wounded.

At least 241 Palestinian children have been killed in the occupied West Bank since the start of Israel's genocide in Gaza.
