Israeli naval vessels and attack helicopters opened fire in eastern Gaza, wounding several Palestinians, the Ma'an news agency reported. The combined assault involved both seaborne and airborne units firing on the area east of Gaza City in what appeared to be a coordinated operation.
The exact circumstances that preceded the shooting remained unclear. No immediate statement explained the military rationale for the strikes or specified the number of those wounded in the exchange. The incident occurred amid ongoing tensions along Gaza's eastern perimeter, where Israeli forces have conducted repeated operations in recent months targeting areas near the border.
