On July 24th 2024, an elderly woman was reportedly killed by an alleged Israeli strike near a camp for displaced people west of Khan Younis.

Even though the victim remains unidentified, Al Jazeera posted a video showing what appears to be her body being taken away from the rubble by a group of men. There was little additional information about the strike.

This assessment will be updated if more information emerges on the victim.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to the Israeli military.
