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. The hospital compound, located in the Deir Al-Balah area, is currently sheltering thousands of people displaced by ongoing conflicts.

This incident follows a series of failed diplomatic efforts in Cairo, where talks aimed at negotiating a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas ended without progress. The situation remains tense, with both sides bracing for further escalation.
