According to hospital information, at least eleven Palestinians were killed in fighting and an Israeli drone strike in the Gaza Strip. According to the information, other people were injured in the incident in the refugee district of Al-Maghasi in the central part of the Gaza Strip. The injured and the fatalities were taken to the Al-Aqsa clinic in the city of Deir al-Balah.
According to eyewitness reports, the drone attack took place during clashes between armed members of the Islamist terrorist organization Hamas and gunmen suspected of collaborating with Israel in the Gaza Strip. Israel intervened with the drone attack during the fighting. The Israeli army did not initially comment on the reports.
Witnesses reported chaos and fear among residents of the camp as several nearby houses were damaged in the attack.
Even six months after the start of the ceasefire in the Gaza war, the situation in the largely destroyed coastal strip remains tense. The disarmament of Hamas as planned in US President Donald Trump’s peace plan has not yet been implemented. Israel continues to control half of the Gaza Strip.
Since the beginning of the ceasefire, Hamas has largely managed to consolidate its rule in the area of Gaza that it continues to control. Israel has been repeatedly accused of funding and arming militias hostile to Hamas in the Gaza Strip. (sda/dpa)
