Eleven Palestinians were killed in Gaza after Israeli fire struck multiple locations, according to local health officials. Among the dead were several children, a woman, and three journalists who were traveling through central Gaza to document conditions in displacement camps.

Funeral processions for the victims drew large crowds, reflecting the deepening grief and instability across Gaza as residents brace for the possibility of renewed escalation.
