Shortly before 1:26pm on Monday 9th June, 2025 at least two civilians were killed and dozens of others injured by alleged Israeli gunfire near the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid distribution centre in the al-Shakoush area, northwest of Rafah/southwest of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

In the afternoon, information appeared detailing Israeli gunfire near the aid centre in the al-Shakoush area, killing at least two civilians and injuring dozens of others. A Facebook post by Hani Alshaer, a member of the press, reported on the death of Ahmed Mohammed Hassan al-Najjar who was killed by Israeli gunfire near the aid centre. Less than an hour afterward, Khan Yunis Post published a Facebook post reporting on the death of 27/28-year-old Yahya Masoud Mansour al-Zamili, who was also killed near the aid center in the al-Shakoush area.

Several other news sources, including Palestine Post and Safa News reported on the incident. Initial reports made by Safa News described dozens of injuries from gunfire that was directed at people waiting for aid in the Shakoush area in southwest Khan Younis. A couple of hours after its initial report, the correspondent confirmed the deaths of Yahya and Ahmed as a result of the gunfire.

Reporting on the incident, Palestine post, explicitly referenced Yahya death as a consequence of Israeli gunfire. The post, made on Facebook, said “Yahya Masoud Mansour al-Zamili was martyred by the bullets of the [Israeli] forces” near the aid center in the al-Shakoush area.

Friends and Family, posting on social media, made heartfelt responses mourning the death of their loved ones. Facebook user, Lion of the East, mourned the death of his cousin Yahya, in a post which read “May God forgive him and admit him into His spacious gardens. A martyr for the sake of livelihood”.  A photo shared alongside the post depicted the dead body of Yahya, a young man, now wrapped in a white body bag. Facebook user Mohammed al-Tarabani, shared the same photo, the comment read “Yahya Masoud Mansour al-Zamili “Sheikh Al-Eid” Today 6/9/2025 Residents of Rafah – Al-Shaboura May God forgive him and admit him into His spacious gardens”. In a photo collage shared by Facebook users, Youssef Abu Muhammad and Abood Al-shaer, Yahya is depicted in two photos as a young man with brown hair and a goaty. wearing a blue adidas sweatshirt. The comments read “never think that those who have been killed in the cause of Allah are dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, and they are provided for.”

Where sources identified a belligerent, all sources attributed the incident to Israeli Forces.
