Earlier, an Israeli airstrike on a residential apartment in Gaza City's Al-Rimal neighborhood killed a woman and wounded others, while another Palestinian was shot dead by Israeli forces east of the city.
Separately, the Israeli military announced that its 99th Division had completed its mission in northern Gaza and withdrawn from the enclave after four months of operations east of the Yellow Line.
The military said its forces had destroyed above-ground and underground infrastructure and sought to prevent Hamas from rebuilding its military capabilities. It claimed to have destroyed around eight kilometers of tunnels, including a surveillance operations room.
According to the Israeli military, more than 100 militants were killed during the operations, including individuals involved in the October 7, 2023, attacks and others accused of holding Israeli hostages. The 162nd Division will continue operations in the area, it added.
