An overnight Israeli drone strike on tents housing displaced Palestinians at a hospital compound in Gaza has resulted in 11 people being wounded, including children and journalists, as reported by a medical source at the facility. The Israeli military stated that the strike targeted a Hamas 'command and control center' in an airstrike on the Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital compound in Deir el Balah, central Gaza.

The military emphasized that it took precautions to minimize the risk of harming civilians by utilizing precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence information. However, the strike still led to injuries among the civilians present at the compound.

Furthermore, on a separate occasion, at least 21 individuals lost their lives in an Israeli airstrike on the nearby Al Aqsa Martyrs mosque, where displaced Palestinians had sought shelter. The casualties from this tragic incident were promptly evacuated to the Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital for medical treatment.
