A number of civilians, including a journalist and four members of the Palestinian Red Crescent, were killed this evening while others sustained injuries in an Israeli airstrike targeting a residence and an ambulance in the vicinity of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza.
Local and medical sources said the occupying Israeli military launched airstrikes on a residential building in the vicinity of the hospital, resulting in the tragic death of several civilians, including journalist Ahmed Budeir, and causing injuries to others, some in critical condition.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society further reported that four of its ambulance personnel were among the casualties, as the Israeli occupation forces targeted an ambulance on Salah al-Din Street at the entrance of Deir al-Balah.
The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 7 has claimed the lives of more than 23,200 Palestinians, according to initial health reports, with over 60,000 others injured and nearly 7,500 people unaccounted for.
