Last Updated: April 2, 2026
@PalinfoAr and other local sources all reported that a person was injured by gunfire from Israeli tanks near Al-Itisalat junction in Khan Younis, Gaza on February 16, 2026. As all sources provided the same information, this incident has been graded as a “single source claim” and “weak” until additional information is found.

Geolocation added. Incident had not been geolocated when originally published.
Geolocation Notes
Reports of the incident mention the city of Khan Younis (خان يونس), for which the generic coordinates are: 31.346149, 34.303899. Due to limited satellite imagery and information available to Airwars, we were unable to verify the location further.
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.
