Meanwhile, in Gaza City, two people were killed and five injured after an airstrike struck an apartment building near the Samar intersection. The victims were promptly taken to al-Ahli Baptist hospital for medical treatment.
Further casualties were reported in Deir el-Balah, central Gaza, where six individuals were killed and 20 wounded in an airstrike on a UN agency school in Nuseirat. The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital provided details of the tragic incident.
The Israeli military confirmed targeting the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) complex, stating that the strike was aimed at a Hamas command and control center within the facility.
