Local sources report that Israeli warplanes targeted the home of the Abu Shanab family on Hamid Street in western Gaza City, resulting in multiple fatalities and injuries. The exact number of casualties remains unclear as emergency services scramble to respond amid the devastation.

In central Gaza, one civilian was killed and several others were wounded in an airstrike targeting displaced persons in Deir al-Balah. According to reports, the attack struck tents sheltering displaced families within the compound of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, resulting in one fatality and multiple injuries.

Meanwhile, five citizens sustained injuries when Israeli forces targeted a residential home in Deir al-Balah. Palestinian Red Crescent paramedics transported the wounded to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital for urgent medical attention.

Since the onset of the conflict on October 7, 2023, the Israeli offensive has led to the deaths of 41,534 Palestinians, with 96,092 others wounded. The majority of casualties are reported to be women and children, according to health officials.

Thousands more are feared trapped under the rubble of destroyed buildings, as civil defense teams struggle to reach affected areas. The relentless bombardment has made it increasingly dangerous for rescue workers to operate, heightening fears of an even greater death toll.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to worsen, with infrastructure severely damaged and emergency services stretched beyond capacity amid the ongoing attacks. (ILKHA)
