On March 7, 2026, an Israeli drone attack in Khan Younis, Gaza, killed a father and daughter. A separate attack in the same area later that day resulted in one death and one injury. These incidents occurred amidst ongoing Israeli air strikes, artillery shelling, and naval bombardment of Gaza, despite a previously declared ceasefire. Israeli army-affiliated militias have also advanced east of Gaza City. The Rafah border crossing remains closed following Israeli attacks on Iran, preventing thousands of Palestinians from seeking medical treatment abroad. The situation in Gaza and the occupied West Bank remains dire as global attention is directed towards the US-Israeli conflict with Iran.
