Here is a rewritten version of the article in a neutral newsroom style:
At least 11 Palestinians have been killed and 21 injured in a series of attacks across Gaza and the occupied West Bank, according to Palestinian officials and local media.
In Gaza, three Palestinians were killed near Khan Younis, including one who had recently married. A child, Abdullah Dawas, died from injuries sustained days earlier after being shot in the head near al-Fakhoura clinic. Another Israeli drone attack on a group of people at the Dawla roundabout in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighbourhood killed one person and injured several others.
Israeli naval forces shelled tents sheltering displaced families northwest of Beit Lahiya, killing a Palestinian woman. Verified video showed the body of Abdullah Dawas, wrapped in white cloth for burial, after he succumbed to injuries 10 days after being shot.
In Gaza City’s Shujayea area, Israeli quadcopter drones dropped explosives on a tent housing displaced Palestinians, setting the encampment ablaze. Al Jazeera reported that Israel was carrying out attacks during its occupation of eastern Gaza.
According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, at least 784 Palestinians have been killed and 2,214 wounded since the “ceasefire” took effect. In the occupied West Bank, four Palestinians were killed on Tuesday, including two in an attack by Israeli settlers on al-Mughayyir village.
In Hebron, a 16-year-old boy was killed when he was struck by a vehicle belonging to a security convoy escorting an Israeli minister near the settlement of Kiryat Arba. The Ministry of Health reported that Mohammad Majdi al-Jaabari had been cycling to school shortly after dawn when he was run over.
Israeli settlements and outposts built on Palestinian land are considered illegal under international law. A Palestinian journalist stated that Israelis have been carrying out “intensified and increasingly violent attacks” in the West Bank with the purpose of dispossessing Palestinians from their homes and lands.
