Palestinian child Ismail Al-Bardawil was killed by gunfire in the Al-Mawasi area. WAFA English (Details/174965) cites medical sources saying Israeli forces shot the child in Al-Mawasi of Rafah; a later WAFA wrap (174966) repeats the Bardawil fatality. The initial report was a QudsNen social post placing the killing in Al-Mawasi west of Khan Yunis. Al-Mawasi is a coastal corridor spanning parts of Khan Yunis and Rafah — exact kill-site pin unpublished. QudsNen later amplified four still photographs (no native video). No IDF confirmation in this window.
