Tents in al-Mawasi, an encampment of displaced people in Khan Younis, were shredded by the blasts. The strikes targeted Gaza City and Khan Younis. The Israeli military said it had fired on Gaza after a gunman shot at Israeli soldiers and seriously wounded a reservist. While strikes ripped through Gaza, health officials reported that Israel had also stopped medical patients crossing the Rafah border crossing to Egypt. Sixteen patients from Gaza and 40 of their escorts crossed into Egypt on Tuesday, medics in Gaza said.
