At approximately 8:00am, the IOF penetrated Al Atatra and As Sultan areas in western Beit Lahia and Jabalia, shelling a commercial store owned by Musbah Al Sultan, destroying it totally and causing partial damage to an adjacent house.
Further, at approximately 11:15 am the IOF randomly opened fire from a gunship towards civilian houses in Al Atatra neighborhood, killing Mohammed Al Attar, 20 whilst in front of his house, and injuring one other.
