An Israeli drone strike hit a tent sheltering displaced persons in central Gaza's Deir al-Balah on June 29, 2026, killing three Palestinians, including an 8-year-old boy and his grandfather. The strike occurred despite an ongoing, fragile ceasefire brokered in October.

Israel claimed the Gaza strike targeted a militant involved in the October 7 attacks.
