Israeli military operations have intensified across Gaza City and the occupied West Bank, with multiple airstrikes, artillery shelling, and ground incursions reported between August 15 and 17, 2025. Israeli forces shelled the Al Zaytoun neighborhood in southern Gaza City and conducted airstrikes near Al-Amal Hospital north of Khan Yunis, as well as in central Khan Yunis and the Al-Zeitoun neighborhood east of Gaza City. A drone attack targeted Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City overnight, killing at least seven civilians and causing extensive damage. Palestinian casualties include at least seven killed near aid gatherings in the Al-Mashahra area of Al-Tuffah neighborhood and Wadi Gaza, with six others killed and dozens injured while waiting for aid at the Nasser Medical Complex in southern Gaza Strip. Additionally, Israeli forces stormed the Jalazon refugee camp north of Ramallah and the city of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, detaining Palestinians. Civilian injuries also resulted from an aid parachute drop that accidentally landed on displaced persons' tents in Khan Yunis, causing damage and injuries amid ongoing humanitarian challenges. Meanwhile, Israeli police reportedly assaulted protesters in occupied Jerusalem demanding a prisoner exchange and an end to hostilities. The situation has led to widespread displacement and heightened tensions in the region.
