At least 10 people were killed and several others wounded as clashes erupted near a school sheltering displaced Palestinians, health officials said.
- On Monday, an Israeli airstrike killed at least 10 people and wounded several others outside a school housing displaced Palestinians in the Al-Maghazi refugee camp, health officials said.
- Before the strike, Palestinians clashed with members of an Israeli-backed militia who reportedly attacked the school attempting to abduct residents, according to medics and witnesses.
- The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital reported at least 10 people were killed and dozens injured, including six in critical condition, following the shelling and clashes east of the camp.
- Monday's violence, including an earlier Israeli airstrike that killed one person on a motorbike, further strained the fragile US-backed Gaza ceasefire deal reached in October.
- A leader of an Israeli-backed militia claimed they killed five Hamas members during the clashes, while the Israeli military offered no immediate comment on the day's incidents.
