A Palestinian man was targeted and struck by an Israeli drone while filming in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City on September 16th, 2025. The incident occurred as the man was walking down Al Jalaa Street towards Sheikh Radwan Quarter, documenting the ongoing conflict. Both the man and a companion were heard screaming in agony following the impact, according to footage shared on X. The footage captured the moment the man, identified as heading towards his home on Kamal Naser Street, was hit by an incoming strike in the Sheikh Radwan area. The event underscores the dangerous conditions civilians face amidst the intensified Israeli operations in Gaza City, referred to as Operation Gideon B. In previous reporting from September 17th, 2025, 1:46 AM UTC to 2:46 AM UTC, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were attempting to flee Gaza City. The United Nations has previously claimed Israel is committing genocide in its actions. The Israeli Air Force had conducted strikes on over 850 targets in Gaza City in the past week, with the IDF estimating the presence of 2,000 to 2,500 trained terrorists. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had also reiterated his stance on Qatar's neutrality and requested a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump. Separately, Israeli security forces reported killing two Palestinian gunmen and arresting two others in Qalqilya on September 16th, 2025. The Palestinian Ministry of Health indicated 428 deaths from famine and malnutrition in Gaza by September 16th, 2025, including 146 children. United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres characterized the situation in Gaza City as "systematic destruction" and deemed the war "unacceptable morally, politically and legally."
