Israeli Gunfire Claims Life of 15-Year-Old Boy in Gaza

Israeli gunfire has resulted in the death of a 15-year-old Palestinian boy in the al-Mawasi area of southern Gaza. The boy, identified as Mohammed Nidal Barbakh, was reportedly shot by Israeli forces in the Bir 19 area, located west of Khan Younis.

According to the Palestinian news agency WAFA, medical sources confirmed that Barbakh later succumbed to his injuries. This incident adds to the rising number of Palestinian casualties amid ongoing violence in the region.

The shooting occurs despite a ceasefire that began in October 2025. Reports indicate that Israeli attacks have continued across Gaza during this period. Palestinian health authorities state that over 1,600 Palestinians have lost their lives since the ceasefire was implemented, with many others injured.
