Meanwhile, Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis received several casualties following heavy gunfire that targeted the Sheikh Nasser area east of the city.
On Wednesday morning, artillery shelling struck the eastern areas of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, accompanied by gunfire from Israeli military vehicles.

Local residents reported continued gunfire by Israeli forces east of Gaza City, reflecting ongoing field escalation despite the ceasefire remaining in effect.
