At noon, a Palestinian farmer was killed while others were wounded after the Israeli military action in Absan, east of Khan Younis, south of the Strip.

According to Al Quds, eyewitnesses reported that the Israeli Army shelled agricultural lands in the al-Qarara and Absan regions, east of Khan Younis and Rafah.

Al Mayadeen reported that the Government of Israel had ordered the settlers near the Gaza Strip to immediately enter the fortified rooms and shelters, fearing a reaction from Palestinian resistance.
