Israeli fighter jets conducted an airstrike targeting tents that were sheltering displaced Palestinians on the grounds of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah. Reports indicate that numerous individuals were “burned alive” during the attack.
The assault resulted in the deaths of four Palestinians, while over 40 others sustained injuries, many of which are described as critical. Authorities anticipate that the death toll may continue to rise as rescue operations proceed.
Footage from the scene reveals a severe fire ravaging the tents, with the bodies of additional victims caught in the flames.
Witnesses described the incident as a “Gaza holocaust” and “live-streamed genocide,” claiming that these atrocities have been enabled by U.S. support.
Humanitarian organizations and advocates are urgently calling for immediate international intervention to address the escalating violence in Gaza and provide assistance to the affected population.
