Israel's military forces carried out direct airstrikes and gunfire against populated areas and displacement tents in Gaza between August 8 and 13, 2026, the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights reported. The strikes targeted civilians sheltering in makeshift camps across the territory, with attacks originating from military sites and vehicles positioned throughout the region.
The documented incidents form part of what the rights organization characterizes as an ongoing genocidal campaign against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. During the six-day period, Israeli occupation forces escalated their military operations against civilian populations, according to the center's field documentation. The attacks included both aerial bombardment and direct fire from ground-based military positions.
