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.
