Five Palestinians lost their lives, and others were injured in an Israeli airstrike targeting a group of residents near schools and a tent for displaced people on Al Nasr Street, west of the city. Sources at Al Shifa Hospital confirmed the arrival of several wounded individuals following the occupation forces' targeting of those waiting for aid in the Al Sudaniya area, northwest of the Gaza Strip.

In the central Gaza Strip, an Israeli airstrike targeting a group of people inside the Al Mazra'a School east of Deir Al Balah resulted in the death of a Palestinian and injuries to several others. Additional injuries occurred in an Israeli airstrike on a camp housing displaced persons near the city's Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.
