Israeli forces killed a Palestinian civilian and arrested six fishermen in separate incidents across the Gaza Strip on Thursday, November 12, amid continued Israeli military operations despite the ceasefire agreement.
The Palestinian civilian, identified as Hassan Abu Khreis, was shot dead by Israeli forces east of Al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.
According to the Palestinian news agency WAFA, medical sources confirmed that his body was transferred to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital following the shooting.
Two other Palestinians were also wounded by Israeli gunfire on Thursday. One sustained an abdominal injury east of Al-Bureij, while another was wounded in the Bir 19 area of Al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
Six fishermen arrested off Deir al-Balah
In a separate incident, Israeli naval forces opened fire on Palestinian fishermen off the coast of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza and detained six of them.
According to preliminary reports cited by WAFA, Israeli forces threw five of the fishermen into the sea after questioning them aboard a military vessel. The remaining fishermen were kept aboard the vessel.
Their whereabouts and condition were not immediately known.
Further Israeli military activity across Gaza
Israeli military activity was also reported in several other parts of the territory on Thursday.
Israeli military vehicles opened heavy fire north of Al-Bureij refugee camp, while artillery shelling targeted eastern areas of Khan Younis.
In southern Gaza, Israeli tanks stationed in the Al-Shakoush area fired towards tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in Al-Mawasi, near Rafah and Khan Younis. Southern neighbourhoods of Khan Younis also came under artillery fire.
The incidents were reported amid continued violations of the ceasefire agreement, which took effect in October 2025.
According to figures from Gaza’s Health Ministry reported on November 12, at least 1,622 Palestinians have been killed and another 5,878 injured in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire began.
The overall Palestinian death toll from Israel’s military offensive on Gaza since October 7, 2023, has reached 74,653, with another 176,007 people injured, according to the ministry.
