At least eight Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a car and a people’s gathering near a shelter in Deir al-Balah city in the central Gaza Strip, Anadolu Agency reports.

A medical source at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital said eight Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike in the vicinity of the Palestine Technical College, which serves as a displaced people’s shelter.

Eyewitnesses told Anadolu that the injured were transferred to a hospital on animal carts due to a lack of fuel in Gaza.

The struck area is crowded with people as the Israeli army has designated it as a safe zone, eyewitnesses added.
