Israeli forces have conducted airstrikes on a tent camp housing displaced individuals in a designated safe zone in Rafah, resulting in the deaths of at least 35 Palestinians, including women and children, according to officials.
The attack targeted the Tal as-Sultan area, along with shelters in Jabalia, Nuseirat, and Gaza City, claiming the lives of at least 160 others within the past 24 hours, as reported by Palestinian officials.
The Israeli military confirmed the airstrike, stating it aimed at Hamas fighters using precision weaponry but acknowledged civilian casualties when a fire broke out. The incident is currently under investigation.
Since October 7, a total of 35,984 Palestinians have been killed, and up to 80,643 individuals have been wounded in Israel’s ongoing conflict with Gaza. The death toll on the Israeli side from Hamas's attack on that date stands at 1,139, with numerous individuals still held captive.
