According to local sources, the attack involved the bombing of a house previously evacuated, resulting in casualties that also included several individuals injured in nearby homes. The victims were transported to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah for treatment and identification.

In a separate incident, a young girl was killed when Israeli artillery shelled tents housing displaced families in the western part of Nuseirat.

Medical reports indicate that the death toll in Gaza from Friday alone has climbed to 63, with 35 fatalities reported in northern Gaza. Since October 2023, Israeli military aggression has claimed the lives of at least 44,612 Palestinians and injured more than 105,834. Thousands remain trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency services due to ongoing airstrikes.

The relentless bombardment persists despite international appeals. The UN Security Council has called for an immediate ceasefire, and the International Court of Justice has urged measures to prevent genocide and address the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

The situation continues to draw global condemnation as the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza deepens with each passing day. (ILKHA)
