Israel kills Palestinian, destroys mosque in Gaza

What Happened

Israeli airstrikes in Gaza City destroyed the Al-Muttaqin Mosque near the YMCA building on Tuesday, while a separate strike on a market in the Nuseirat refugee camp killed one Palestinian and wounded at least 20 others, according to reports from Al Jazeera. In the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Red Crescent reported that Israeli settlers set fire to a home in Abu Najim, near Bethlehem, forcing eight Palestinians to flee. Additionally, the Wafa news agency reported that Israeli authorities issued military orders to seize approximately 200 dunums of land in the Jenin governorate for the construction of military roads and the expansion of outposts in Arrabeh, Qabatiya, and Misilya.
