Israeli warplanes conducted two strikes east of Khan Yunis and filled Gaza skies with drones flying at very low altitudes between 10:15:30 PM and 11:15:46 PM UTC on February 22, 2026, according to a Hebrew blog and Gaza's النصيرات الإخبارية page. The strikes followed an airstrike reported in the same area. The Hebrew blog reported "Two strikes east of Khan Yunis," while النصيرات الإخبارية stated "Gaza's skies are filled with drones and warplanes flying at very low altitudes... and their annoying noise is non-stop" and separately noted "An airstrike by warplanes east of Khan Yunis." No official statements from the Israeli Defense Forces confirmed the activity during this one-hour window. This overflight and strike activity follows reports of Israeli warplanes flying over Gaza skies between 9:45:44 PM and 10:15:22 PM UTC, as noted in a prior Hebrew blog post, and earlier intense overflights in northern Jordan.
