On Tuesday 15 September 2026, an Israeli combat drone strike near Haidar Roundabout in Sheikh Ajleen (west/southwest Gaza City) killed Palestinian Nimer Ershi and wounded others, WAFA and QudsNen reported. Anadolu Agency earlier the same day cited a medical source saying a drone strike targeting passersby in Sheikh Ajleen killed one Palestinian and injured two (one seriously). AA also reported a separate 65-year-old killed by gunfire east of Jabalia camp. No IDF confirmation of the Ajleen civilian kill located.
