Last Updated: March 19, 2026
A child was injured allegedly by Israeli gunfire in Halawa Refugee Camp in Jabalia, Gaza on February 20, 2026.
Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that a child was injured by Israeli forces in Halawa Refugee Camp in Jabalia. @PalinfoAr attributed the child’s injuries to Israeli gunfire and Al-Bawsala News Agency specified that the attack occurred among tents of displaced people “outside the area of deployment of the Israeli army according to the agreement.”
Where sources identified a belligerent, all sources attributed the attack to the Israeli military.
Geolocation Notes
Reports of the incident mention the Halawa Refugee Camp (مخيم حلاوة) in Jabalia (جباليا). Due to limited satellite imagery and information available to Airwars, we were unable to find boundaries for the area and to verify the location further. The generic coordinates for Halawa Refugee Camp are: 31.519775, 34.478078.
Geolocation Observation: Yellow Line
The coordinates provided by Airwars are outside the boundaries of the 'Yellow Line' officially published by the Israeli military on October 14, 2025. Although the boundaries of the Yellow Line are contested and have been subject to subsequent changes by the Israeli military, Airwars applies the initial boundaries declared on 14 October 2025 for analytical consistency.
