Corroborated · Khan Yunis, Palestine ·
Abu Ali Express reports that a drone strike killed As'ad Kashta (Abu al-Abed) near Well 19 in southwest Khan Yunis overnight, with one killed. The IDF says its aerial strikes in the Khan Yunis area on Monday killed Asaad Suleiman Salman Qashta, an Army of Islam operative, and Hamas military wing sniper cell head Mahmoud Jihad Mohammad Qafa, which it describes as two operatives eliminated. Quds News Network reports that a separate Israeli airstrike in a different area of Khan Younis killed Asaad Qeshta.

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.
