In a devastating turn of events, at least 16 Palestinian civilians, including women and children, lost their lives in an Israeli airstrike on October 10. The attack targeted a hospital in Jabalia, located in northern Gaza, where displaced families had taken shelter.

The Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia, overwhelmed with casualties, served as the main facility for treating the victims of this tragic incident. The strike specifically hit the courtyard of the Yemen Al-Saeed hospital, where civilians had gathered, leading to numerous injuries alongside the fatalities.

In a separate incident, Israeli special forces opened fire on a vehicle in Nablus, West Bank, resulting in the deaths of four Palestinian youths. The deadly encounters have further escalated tensions and hostilities in the already volatile region.
