Israeli airstrikes have caused significant casualties in Gaza, targeting multiple locations, including a displaced persons camp at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah. The strikes resulted in fires that burned people alive in their tents, with graphic scenes of civilians, including children and elderly, attempting to escape the flames. The airstrikes also hit the neighborhood of al-Faluja and areas near a police station and the al-Falah medical center in Jabalia, northern Gaza. Civil defense teams are working to rescue the wounded from the burning tents. At least 30 tents for displaced Palestinian families in the central Gaza Strip were targeted.
