An Israeli UAV strike at the Ittisalat junction in northern Khan Yunis, southern Gaza Strip, killed three people around 18:30, according to Palestinian reports via Abu Ali Express. The affiliation of those killed has not been stated.
Palestinian sources reported Tuesday evening that an Israeli UAV strike at the Ittisalat junction in northern Khan Yunis killed three people at approximately 18:30. The report, cited by Abu Ali Express, raises the death toll from an initial count of two reported earlier in the evening. The affiliation of those killed has not been stated, and the IDF has not commented.
The strike is the latest in a series of incidents in Khan Yunis. The thread began at 19:21 Jerusalem, when three bulletins published simultaneously recorded the first reports: a Palestinian media account via i24NEWS of two killed, followed by an Israeli security source confirming a targeted strike without detailing casualties or the target. At 19:36 Jerusalem, The Zioneer published a bulletin consolidating the Palestinian source report of two fatalities. The current update, at 22:02 Jerusalem, specifies a higher toll (three) and a more precise location (Ittisalat junction), based on the same single Palestinian source—still unverified by independent channels.
As The Zioneer reported on Sunday, June 28, a strike in Khan Yunis killed one person and wounded others, while a broader pattern of IDF demolitions and strikes across the Strip was noted. Another bulletin on Tuesday, June 30 at 09:01 Jerusalem described two fatalities in the Mawasi area of Khan Yunis following an evacuation warning. The current incident's casualty count is higher than those earlier single-digit figures.
The report remains based on a single Palestinian source and has not been independently verified. No details on the target or the identities of those killed—whether combatants or civilians—have emerged, and the IDF has not issued a statement on this specific strike.
