Local reports indicate that Israeli warplanes targeted a group of individuals east of Deir al-Balah, killing one person and injuring several others. In a separate incident, Israeli artillery shelling in Block 1 of the Bureij refugee camp claimed the lives of three Palestinians and caused additional casualties.

Further airstrikes in the Al-Ettesalat area west of the Jabalia refugee camp resulted in the deaths of five more Palestinians and left others injured. These strikes coincided with explosions from the Israeli army’s demolition of dozens of homes in Jabalia and its surrounding neighborhoods, particularly in al-Safatay and al-Tuwam.

Since the onset of Israeli aggression on Gaza on October 7, 2023, there have been 42,175 documented Palestinian fatalities and 98,336 injuries, the majority of whom are women and children. Thousands are also feared dead under the rubble of destroyed structures, with civil defense teams and emergency services unable to reach several areas due to ongoing safety concerns amid the indiscriminate attacks.
