A pregnant Palestinian woman was killed in Israeli gunfire near Khan Younis, as at least 10 people were reported dead in Gaza over 48 hours, according to local health authorities.
A 27-year-old Palestinian woman, Iman Shalouf, who was nearly eight months pregnant, was shot in the head by Israeli forces while inside a family tent in the al-Mawasi area near Khan Younis. She died from her injuries, along with her unborn child, after being rushed to Nasser hospital where doctors initially detected the baby’s heartbeat.
At least 10 Palestinians were killed and 56 injured in Israeli attacks across Gaza over the previous 48 hours, according to the Gaza health ministry. The violence has continued despite a ceasefire agreement reached in October 2025. Multiple families have been affected, with four members of one family killed in Beit Lahiya and others injured in attacks in Khan Younis and Gaza City.
