An Israeli airstrike on a water distribution point in Nuseirat refugee camp in Gaza killed 10 people, including six children, and wounded 17 others. The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) said it had intended to hit an Islamic Jihad militant but a "technical error" caused the missile to miss its target. The strike is under review, with the IDF expressing regret for any harm to civilians. The incident occurred as ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas were stalling over issues including withdrawal terms and humanitarian aid. At least 32 people were killed in Israeli strikes in Gaza on the same day.

Ten people, including six children, were killed in an Israeli air strike while waiting to fill water containers in central Gaza. The Israeli military admitted a "technical error" with a strike targeting an Islamic Jihad "terrorist" caused the munition to fall short, and the incident is under review. The strike is part of escalated Israeli aerial attacks across Gaza, where at least 57,882 people have been killed since Israel launched a military campaign in response to Hamas's cross-border attack on October 7, 2023. The International Committee of the Red Cross reported treating more mass casualty cases at its Rafah field hospital in the last six weeks than in the previous 12 months, with 132 patients treated on Saturday, 31 of whom died. The UN human rights office recorded 789 aid-related killings, and the healthcare, water, sanitation, and hygiene systems in Gaza have collapsed due to the ongoing conflict.

Negotiations between Israel and Hamas for a 60-day ceasefire are stalled over aid distribution to Palestinians in Gaza. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a US and Israel-backed aid mechanism, has been delivering food aid to Palestinians, but Hamas has threatened civilians who accept it. The GHF chair, Rev. Johnnie Moore, accused the UN of "mafia" tactics for opposing the GHF's aid distribution, saying it has been more effective and secure than the UN's efforts. The UN has reported nearly 800 deaths near aid sites, but the GHF denies this, claiming the UN is relying on statistics from Hamas-controlled sources. The GHF has delivered 70 million meals to Palestinians and is launching a new phase to distribute aid directly to families through community leaders.

At least 59 Palestinians were killed and 132 injured after the Israeli military opened fire near an aid distribution centre in Gaza's Rafah city. The Red Cross reported that most of the patients it received had gunshot wounds and were attempting to access food distribution sites. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) claimed it fired "warning shots" after suspects approached its troops, but said it was not aware of any injuries. Witnesses and medical staff accused Israel of deliberately targeting civilians, with one paramedic stating that aid centres had become "centres of mass death". The incident occurred amid ongoing Israeli attacks in Gaza, which have killed over 57,000 Palestinians since October 2023.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian was reportedly injured in a leg during an Israeli airstrike on June 16 that targeted a meeting of the Supreme National Security Council in an underground facility in Tehran. The airstrike, which occurred during the 12-day war between Israel and Iran, involved six bombs that blocked the facility's main entry and exit points and ventilation system, but Pezeshkian and other officials escaped through an emergency shaft. Pezeshkian had previously claimed that Israel attempted to assassinate him during the war, and the incident has triggered an internal investigation into how Israeli agents obtained information about his movements.
