In a tragic development, Israeli forces shelled tent camps for displaced Palestinians north of Rafah on Friday, resulting in the deaths of at least 25 people and injuries to 50 more, according to Gaza's Health Ministry and emergency workers.

Ahmed Radwan, spokesperson for the Civil Defense first responders in Rafah, stated that rescue workers were informed of the shelling at two distinct locations in a coastal area now crowded with tents. The Health Ministry confirmed the casualties.

The targeted locations, identified by the Civil Defense, lay just outside an Israeli-designated safe zone. The Israeli military announced that it is probing the strikes at the provided coordinates. Previously, Israel has bombed areas near the 'humanitarian zone' in Muwasi, a coastal region now full of sprawling tent camps.
