Fatal clashes and attacks reported in Gaza and the West Bank

On May 31, 2026, multiple incidents occurred in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank amid a stalled ceasefire process. Palestinian health officials reported at least three deaths in Gaza across separate incidents, including an airstrike on a vehicle near Deir al-Balah and strikes in Zawayida and Khan Yunis. Other reports suggest two Palestinians were killed and dozens injured in an airstrike targeting a cafeteria near a temporary port. Since the October ceasefire, health authorities in Gaza state that approximately 930 Palestinians have been killed, while the Israeli military reports four soldier deaths. Talks regarding the second phase of the truce, which includes the disarmament of Hamas and the withdrawal of Israeli troops, remain deadlocked, with Israel currently controlling over half of the territory. Separately, in the West Bank, two Israeli teenagers were injured in a car-ramming attack near the Gush Etzion settlement. The attacker was killed by a soldier at the scene. Israel has not commented on the Gaza incidents.
