The Gaza Civil Defense reported on Wednesday that three of its workers were injured in a strike by an Israeli drone. The incident occurred in the northern governorate of Gaza, where the workers were providing humanitarian services.
The Civil Defense stated that the Israeli drone strike was a deliberate attempt to disrupt the provision of services in northern Gaza. The strike resulted in three workers sustaining various degrees of injuries.
Prior to the attack, Israeli quadcopters had issued a warning to the Civil Defense workers. The warning, delivered via a loudspeaker, instructed the workers to abandon their vehicles and move east towards a school near the Indonesian hospital in northern Gaza.
This incident highlights the ongoing tensions in the region and the challenges faced by humanitarian workers operating in conflict zones. The Gaza Civil Defense plays a crucial role in providing emergency services and assistance to the local population, and attacks on its personnel jeopardize these vital operations.
The injured workers are currently receiving medical treatment, and the Gaza Civil Defense is assessing the impact of the drone strike on its operations. The Israeli military has not yet commented on the incident.
