An Israeli airstrike killed at least 10 people near a school sheltering displaced Palestinians in central Gaza. Health officials reported the wounded, and the strike occurred on Monday. Israeli drones reportedly fired missiles into an area near Maghazi refugee camp.
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital stated that the Israeli shelling and clashes east of Maghazi refugee camp left dozens injured, including six in critical condition. Ahmed al-Maghazi told Reuters that residents tried to defend their homes, but "the occupation forces targeted them directly." The leader of the Israeli-backed militia claimed they killed about five Hamas members. Al Jazeera stated that they could not independently verify the claim, and there was no immediate comment from Hamas.
The Al-Aqsa hospital in Deir al-Balah reported receiving the bodies of 10 people from the scene. Witnesses said the Israeli-backed militia set up a checkpoint east of Maghazi, where Hamas security personnel attacked them, leading to clashes. Israeli drones then intervened to support the militia, striking Hamas personnel in three locations.
Israel and Hamas have accused each other of repeatedly violating the ceasefire. Political analyst Trita Parsi said no one should be surprised that Iran has rejected the idea of a ceasefire deal with the US and Israel, given their history of violating previous agreements. Abu Ubaida, a spokesperson for Hamas's military wing, said they would not accept discussions of disarmament until Israel fulfills its commitments under the initial phase of a peace plan.
Abu Ubaida linked Hamas's fight in Gaza to the broader conflict between Israel, the U.S., and Iran and its allies. He praised missile, drone, and rocket attacks on Israel by Iranian forces, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the Houthis in Yemen, as an "extension" of what Hamas started.
During Israel's war on Gaza, the Maghazi refugee camp was designated a "safe zone" by the Israeli military. Despite this designation, the camp has been targeted in deadly strikes, including one in December 2023 that killed over 100 people. According to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinians in the Near East (UNRWA), the camp's population more than tripled in the first months of the war.
The World Health Organization (WHO) suspended evacuations from Gaza after a staff member was killed in Gaza.
