Escalating Tensions: Israeli Airstrike Hits Gaza Hospital, Killing Five

 

In a tragic incident, an Israeli airstrike targeted a tent within the Al-Aqsa Hospital compound in central Gaza, resulting in the deaths of at least five people. This strike, which occurred on Sunday, also left 18 others wounded and brought the total number of Palestinians killed that day to 19.

The Israeli military stated that the airstrike was aimed at a militant involved in terror activities, and secondary explosions indicated the presence of weaponry in the area.
