Israeli strike hits Gaza displacement tents, killing 1
An Israeli strike hit a cluster of tents sheltering displaced civilians in the southern Gaza Strip early Friday, killing one Palestinian and wounding 16 others.
The attack targeted the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis—a coastal region that the Israeli military had previously designated as a "safe zone" for civilians fleeing the conflict, News.Az reports, citing Anadolu Agency.
The tent strike follows a wave of intense bombardment across the enclave. Just a day earlier, simultaneous Israeli airstrikes ripped through residential apartments in Gaza City, killing 11 Palestinians, including five members of a single family. Medical staff at Al-Shifa Hospital reported receiving dismembered and severely burned casualties from those attacks.

The ongoing violence continues to chip away at a fragile peace agreement. Despite a nominal ceasefire that took effect on October 10, 2025, near-daily attacks persist.
The human toll of the conflict remains staggering:
Post-Ceasefire Casualties: The Gaza Health Ministry reports that at least 936 Palestinians have been killed and 2,903 injured since the October ceasefire was enacted.
Overall Toll: Local Palestinian figures estimate that nearly 73,000 Palestinians have been killed and over 173,000 wounded since October 2023, with women and children making up the vast majority of the casualties.
