An Israeli forces' gunfire killed a Palestinian early on Friday in the al-Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.

The gunfire came from Israeli forces, and the agency gave no further details about the circumstances of the killing.

A separate Palestinian was killed late Thursday night in an Israeli drone strike that targeted an area near a tent in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, the agency added.

Israeli naval vessels also fired shells into the waters off the Khan Younis coast, WAFA reported.

The agency said Israeli forces continue to violate the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip through artillery shelling and gunfire from military vehicles and naval vessels in various areas.

A ceasefire took effect in Gaza in October 2025 under a US-brokered plan, ending the most intense phase of fighting that began after Hamas-led attacks on Israel in October 2023.

Both sides have accused each other of breaching the truce since it took hold, and deadly incidents near the front lines have continued to be reported.

The latest reports add to a pattern of lethal incidents in Gaza during the ceasefire, which Palestinian officials and the agency describe as violations by Israeli forces.
