An Israeli airstrike on tents sheltering civilians in western Gaza City killed and injured several, including children.

Since dawn on Thursday, Israeli occupation forces have intensified attacks across the Gaza Strip, causing numerous casualties, Al-Jazeera reported.

At the same time, Palestinian resistance factions continue to confront the Israeli army, releasing footage of vehicles targeted in Jabalia under Operation Moses’ Staff.

Palestinian sources reported that scores of civilians, most of them children, were killed and wounded in successive Israeli airstrikes on homes and tents of displaced families in Gaza City’s Sabra, Sheikh Radwan, Al-Nasr, and Tal Al-Hawa neighborhoods.

According to medical sources cited by Al Jazeera’s correspondent, two Palestinians were killed and others were injured in a strike on a home in the Al-Sabra neighborhood.

Civil Defense said several people remain trapped under the rubble after the house was bombed without prior warning.

In the Al-Nasr neighborhood of western Gaza City, one Palestinian was killed and several others, including children, were injured when Israeli aircraft targeted tents sheltering displaced people. Ambulances transferred the dead and wounded to Al-Shifa Medical Complex.

Meanwhile, a source at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital confirmed that six Palestinians were killed and others injured in Israeli shelling that struck groups of civilians in the Al-Hakr area of Deir Al-Balah and the Al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza.

The Palestinian Information Center reported that Israeli forces detonated a booby-trapped robot among homes in the Sheikh Radwan area and opened fire from military vehicles at houses near the Al-Jalaa neighborhood in northwest Gaza City.

Separately, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, released video footage showing fighters targeting Israeli tanks and armored vehicles in Jabaliya.

The fighters were seen striking a Merkava tank and an armored personnel carrier with Yasin 105 shells and explosives as part of the “Moses’ Staff” operations, launched in response to Israel’s “Gideon 2” campaign to occupy Gaza City.

With US backing, Israel has been carrying out a genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, killing at least 63,746 Palestinians, wounding 161,245—mostly women and children—and leaving more than 9,000 missing. 

Hundreds of thousands have been displaced, while famine has already claimed the lives of 367 Palestinians, including 131 children.
