Several Palestinian civilians were killed and others wounded in the morning as Israeli forces launched a series of airstrikes targeting central and southern areas of the Gaza Strip, Wafa reports.

Local sources reported that an Israeli drone struck a residential apartment in the Al-Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, killing a man and his wife.

In a separate attack, Israeli warplanes targeted a tent sheltering displaced people in the Al-Hassaina area west of Al-Nuseirat camp, resulting in additional casualties, including both fatalities and injuries.

Further south, in the Al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis, Israeli forces bombed another tent housing displaced civilians in the Al-Rayan camp. Two people were reported killed and several others injured in the strike.

Additionally, several civilians were wounded by Israeli gunfire in the Asdaa area north of Khan Younis.
