Identified as Aseed Farhan Abu Ali, aged 21, and Abd al-Rahman Suleiman Abu Daghash, aged 32, both individuals succumbed to gunshot wounds to the head, as confirmed by the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

The IDF said in a statement forces entered the area to dismantle militants’ “operational command center and dozens of ready-to-use explosive devices.”

Palestinian state media WAFA said Israeli forces “stormed the camp in large numbers, accompanied by military bulldozers, amid heavy gunfire, and began bulldozing the main street and infrastructure in the camp, while (Israeli) occupation snipers mounted the roofs of citizens’ homes.”
