Israeli Forces Kill Three Palestinians in Gaza, Restrict Worship at Two Mosques

Israeli forces killed at least three Palestinians and wounded several others during attacks in the Gaza Strip on June 27. A drone strike in the al-Salatin area west of Beit Lahiya killed two people and wounded one, according to Palestinian news agency Wafa.

In southern Gaza, an Israeli missile hit a tent sheltering displaced people in Khan Younis, wounding several and resulting in one unidentified body delivered to Nasser Medical Complex.

Jerusalem restrictions In occupied East Jerusalem, 110 Israeli settlers entered Al-Aqsa Mosque under police escort, performed rituals in the eastern section, and Israeli police restricted Palestinian worshippers, blocking some from entering and confiscating identity cards.

Israeli forces prevented the call to prayer at the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron for the eighth consecutive day. The mosque director told Wafa that the restrictions aimed to tighten control and reduce attendance.

Additional raids and detentions Israeli forces shot one Palestinian in the foot during a raid on Qalandiya camp and arrested two others. In Nablus, forces arrested 11 Palestinians and detained journalist Anas al-Hawari during a raid on Sebastia. Two more arrests occurred in Beit Sahour.

The International Committee of the Red Cross transferred 14 Palestinians held by Israel to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital and helped them contact their families. The organization stated it has facilitated more than 2,500 such transfers since 2023 but has not been allowed access to detainees held in Israeli facilities since October 2023.

Gaza's Health Ministry reported that hospitals received three bodies and treated 43 wounded people in the past 24 hours. It said the total number of Palestinians killed since October 7, 2023, has reached at least 73,054, with 173,480 wounded.
