Over 100 mortar shells found in UNRWA bags in Gaza
2026-02-03
[IsraelTimes] IDF troops located and destroyed a cache of more than 100 mortar shells during mop-up operations on the Israeli side of the Gaza ceasefire line, the military says.

According to the IDF, the 110 mortars, several rockets, and other military equipment were stored inside repurposed UNRWA bags.

The cache was located by troops of the 7th Armored Brigade, who are stationed on the eastern side of the Yellow Line in the southern Gaza Strip.

IDF says four ‘terrorists’ killed after approaching troops in northern Gaza
[IsraelTimes] The IDF says it killed four Palestinian terror operatives who approached troops near the Gaza ceasefire line in the Strip’s north earlier today.

According to the military, the four were “operating near the Yellow Line,” which separates the areas of Gaza controlled by Israel and Hamas, and were approaching reservists of the Alexandroni Brigade “in a manner that posed an immediate threat.”

“Immediately after identification, the troops eliminated the terrorists in order to remove the threat,” the army says.

At least 2, including 3-year-old, said killed by IDF in Gaza today; no comment from military
[IsraelTimes] Palestinian media reports that at least two people, including a small child, were killed by the IDF this morning in Gaza.

The military has not commented on the reports, but has in the past said such strikes are in response to ceasefire violations.

In al-Mawasi, a southern coastal area on the Hamas-controlled side of the Gaza ceasefire line near the city of Khan Younis, 3-year-old Iyad al-Rubaiya was reportedly killed by gunfire from an Israeli Navy boat. His body was brought to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, according to the reports.

Other people were said to have been wounded in the strike, with some outlets reporting that a 40-year-old man was also killed and brought to Nasser Hospital.

In Jabalia, in the Strip’s north, 22-year-old Ramadan Dardouna was reportedly killed, and at least one other person wounded, by IDF gunfire on the Israeli-controlled side of the ceasefire line. Dardouna’s body was reportedly brought to Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital.

In a noon report, the Strip’s Hamas-run health ministry says Gaza hospitals have received four people wounded and the bodies of three people killed by IDF gunfire over the past 24 hours, as well as the bodies of two people killed before that period.

The report does not identify the dead, say where or in what circumstances the people were killed or wounded or specify the severity of the injuries.
