Israeli airstrikes targeted a school sheltering displaced people in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, resulting in four deaths and numerous injuries, according to Palestinian news agency Wafa.

This attack occurred following a series of overnight airstrikes and artillery bombardments by Israeli forces across residential areas in Gaza, from north to south.

Wafa also reported additional attacks, including artillery shelling in central Rafah that killed one person and injured two others, along with bombings in various neighborhoods such as al-Jnaina and near the Kuwaiti Hospital.

The Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City was also hit, alongside airstrikes in the city’s center.

Further injuries were reported in Jabalia refugee camp in the northern part of the territory.
