These figures, along with reports about the circumstances of some incidents, where civilians or civilian objects have been directly hit by Israeli fire (see below for incidents during the period), while there was allegedly no rocket fire or armed group activity in the close vicinity, have raised concerns about the respect for the principles of distinction, proportionality and precaution in attack under international humanitarian law.
18, 6, 3, 1, 16
In the most serious incident overnight, an Israeli airstrike targeted a house east of Gaza city. According to initial information, 18 persons including six children and three women, one of them pregnant, were killed, and 16 others injured including the Director General of the Gaza police, reportedly the intended target who was visiting his relatives at the time.

1,140 Palestinians including 296 children and 233 women have also been injured.
940, 5,600
The number of homes destroyed or severely damaged by Israeli attacks since the start of the emergency has reached 940, bringing the estimated number of people displaced in these incidents to 5,600.
1,420, 8,500
About 1,420 families (8,500 individuals), whose homes sustained significant damage but are still inhabitable, require NFI emergency shelter repairs, such as nylon and tarpaulin.
48,000
About 48,000 individuals living in slightly affected houses (broken windows and damaged doors) are in need of basic NFIs [Non-Food Items] such as nylon and plastic sheets.

25,300 children whose families have experienced death, injury or loss of homes are in need of psychosocial (PSS) support.

Injury to utility workers is also of increasing concern. An employee of the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility (CMWU) was hit by an Israeli airstrike in Rafah and sustained serious injury today; two CMWU workers and a child were reportedly killed in similar circumstances on 11 July. Consequently, the CMWU has announced that they have suspended routine operations due to increased security risks and the alleged targeting of their technicians. Only critical facilities, particularly wells, easily accessible by technicians will be operated. As a result, over 1/3 of the population of Gaza may not have access to potable water.

Since the start of the escalation, 29 government schools and 37 UNRWA schools have been affected by shelling due to their close proximity to targeted sites.
