In a devastating incident, Israeli airstrikes resulted in the deaths of four Palestinians and left dozens injured in a targeted attack on makeshift tents housing displaced individuals within the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, located in central Gaza. Medical sources reported that 70 people sustained injuries due to the assault on the hospital’s grounds, which has become a refuge for many fleeing violence.
Escalating Violence in Gaza
Earlier reports from Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital indicated a significant number of casualties, highlighting the ongoing toll of the conflict. The situation worsened as the Israeli military targeted a school sheltering displaced families in the Al-Nuseirat refugee camp, leading to a tragic rise in fatalities. The death toll from this attack has reached 22, with at least 80 individuals injured.
Local Palestinian sources confirmed that the Israeli forces launched artillery strikes on the “Mufti” school, which accommodates hundreds of displaced persons in the Al-Nuseirat camp. This incident underscores the increasing dangers faced by civilians in the region.
Additional Casualties Reported
Moreover, two additional Palestinians lost their lives in separate airstrikes that targeted a group of residents in eastern Al-Bureij camp, also situated in central Gaza. These incidents further illustrate the escalating violence and humanitarian crisis affecting the region.
As the conflict continues, the humanitarian situation remains dire, with many civilians caught in the crossfire and in urgent need of assistance.
