SINGLE SOURCE
While the evidence confirms Israeli drone strikes in Gaza and mentions Nasser Hospital receiving bodies of the Abdeen family, there is no mention of a child named Khalid Shaat or an event specifically on August 12, 2026. The provided search results discuss events on August 27 and 28, 2026.

VERIFIED BY REFERENCE

Claim 3: “a child and an elderly man are wounded after the strike, on August 12, 2026 in Khan Yunis, Palestine”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The evidence confirms strikes in Khan Yunis and Al-Qarara on August 28, 2026, resulting in deaths of a family. However, there is no specific evidence confirming a strike on August 12, 2026, that wounded specifically 'a child and an elderly man'.
