Corroborated · North Rafah, Palestine (approximate: Gaza Strip) ·
The IDF says it killed Abd al-Jawad Juda, a Hamas military wing operative, in strikes across the Gaza Strip on Saturday. An anonymous X account, @ME_Observer_, reports that Abd al-Jawad Hatem Jouda was killed and five others wounded near Fash Farsh, and separately that two people were wounded by Israeli fire north of Rafah, without stating the means of attack. Middle East Eye, via Google News, reports that Israeli strikes killed six Palestinians across Gaza in a single day.

Details by origin
Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
