The attack occurred on Monday in the area of the Maghazi refugee camp. Al-Aqsa Hospital reported that at least ten people were killed in the attacks and clashes, with dozens injured, including six in critical condition. Witnesses claim that Israeli drones fired two missiles during the conflict, further increasing the number of casualties. "Residents tried to defend their homes, but the occupation forces directly targeted them," Ahmed al-Maghazi told Reuters. In a subsequently released video, the leader of an Israeli-backed militia stated that they had killed about five Hamas members, but Al Jazeera reported that it could not independently confirm this claim. Hamas has not yet commented. During the war in Gaza, the Israeli military designated the Maghazi camp as a so-called "safe zone." According to UNRWA data, it is one of the smaller camps, with about 30,000 residents before the conflict. However, in the first months of the war, the population more than tripled due to an influx of displaced people. Despite its "safe zone" status, the camp has been targeted in multiple deadly attacks. In one of the most severe incidents in December 2023, over 100 people were killed, mostly women and children. Even after a fragile ceasefire was reached in October, Israeli attacks on various parts of Gaza, including Maghazi, have not ceased. Earlier the same day, according to sources and reports from Al Jazeera correspondents, one World Health Organization staff member was killed and several others were injured when the Israeli military fired on their vehicle in Gaza.
