On February 14, 2026, an elderly man was allegedly shot in the foot and injured by the Israeli forces outside their deployment area, the Al-Manshiya area in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza Strip.

The incident was widely reported on social media with Twitter users, including @PalinfoAr, @F24online, @Quds_Brk, @AlQastalps and many more, sharing similar information, with some of them referring to press sources and a source in the ambulance and emergency services. One photograph shared by @Hamla Kaddour purports to show the bullet.

Based on the repetitive nature of the reporting, Airwars has graded the strike type of the incident as a “single source claim”, and the civilian harm status as “weak.”
