Israeli attacks kill Palestinians in Gaza on July 12, 2026, including a 9-year-old girl
Israeli drone strikes and gunfire in Gaza on July 12, 2026 killed multiple Palestinians, including 9-year-old Tala Abu Matar, who was shot in a displacement camp at Al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza. A drone strike on a blacksmith shop or metal foundry in Gaza City's Sabra neighborhood killed at least four people. The Israeli military acknowledged striking the Sabra area, citing 'terrorist infrastructure,' but said it was unaware of the shooting incident at Al-Bureij.
