At least three Palestinians were killed and 40 injured in an Israeli strike on tents housing displaced civilians in the Gaza Strip early Monday, according to local media.
A fire erupted among the tents in the courtyard of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, located in the central city of Deir al-Balah, as a result of the attack, Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.
Officials from Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital told WAFA that many civilians were killed and injured in the Israeli attack, noting that the hospital was filled with wounded.
According to a written statement from the government media office in Gaza, this was the Israeli army’s seventh attack targeting the tents of displaced civilians at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.
Israeli warplanes bombed the tents of displaced civilians in the hospital compound before on Jan. 10, March 13, July 22, Aug. 4, and Sept. 27.
Images of people trapped in the flames have flooded social media.
Israel has continued a brutal offensive on Gaza following a cross-border attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on Oct. 7 last year, despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire.
More than 42,200 people have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 98,400 injured, according to local health authorities.
The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of the Gaza Strip amid an ongoing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water, and medicine.Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.
Iran Strike on 15 Israeli Sites Topped $53 Million in Damages – Report

The Iranian missile attack on Israel earlier this month caused significant damage to property, amounting to an estimated $53 million, according to an Israeli report published on Sunday by Yedioth Ahronoth. The attack, which occurred on 1 October, is now regarded as one of the most destructive since the beginning of the war starting 7 October 2023.
Citing recent data from Israel’s property tax authority, Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the damages to civilian property are estimated between 150 and 200 million shekels (approximately $40 to $53 million). This makes it the most costly single missile strike on the occupation state since the war began.
The report detailed damage in at least 15 locations, including Israeli military bases. In Hod HaSharon, a settlement in central Israel, around 100 apartments were damaged, with losses estimated at more than 10 million shekels ($2.6 million) for one building alone.
Israel announced earlier this month that Iran had launched approximately 180 missiles in a retaliatory strike for the assassinations of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, and Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander Abbas Nilforoushan. The attack was described by Iran as revenge for these killings, which occurred in late September during Israeli airstrikes in Beirut and in July during an Israeli strike in Tehran.
Shortly after the incident, the Israeli military, as well as the Biden administration, denied that the strike had a significant influence according to the Quds News Network.
Analysts: Hezbollah Drones on Israeli Base Upsets Military Equation

Analysts said, Sunday, the strike launched by Hezbollah on a Israeli military south of Haifa, during which a squadron of drones were used and which led to the deaths and dozens of injuries, is a turning point in the nature of the conflict between the occupation forces and Hezbollah, which will cast its shadow on the shape of the next stage of the war.
Writer and political analyst Iyad Al-Qara said that “Hezbollah, by striking a swarm of drones at a military site in Haifa, has turned the entire equation upside down and proven its ability to shape the future, which reflects its regaining the ability to take the initiative and direct strikes deep inside the occupation.”
Al-Qara stressed that “this attack represents a shift in the balance of power between the two sides, and enhances the party’s ability to use drone technology as an effective means of military escalation.”
He added that it seems that the party is seeking to enhance deterrence and impose new equations by striking strategic targets in sensitive areas inside the occupied territories, which reflects a qualitative development in its military capabilities and its ability to target the Israeli depth.
Writer and political analyst Najib Mufarja confirmed, for his part, that “what happened today is considered a security strike before it was a military strike against the occupying state.”
He continued during his interview with “Quds Press”, that “Hezbollah’s success in striking a sensitive military site in this manner and with such precision, and with this force, indicates that it possesses intelligence information, and proves the superiority of the resistance in the information war, and this takes us back to the history of 7 October, 2023, when Hamas was able to launch its operation in the Gaza envelope settlements after an operation of misleading and concealing information and a resounding success in reaching its goals as planned.”
Mufarja saw that “what happened is a new stage in the equation with the occupation,” and continued: “The occupation, which boasts of its intelligence superiority, is today facing a new and disastrous failure. How can Hezbollah possess this huge amount of information about the locations of weapons, warehouses, and sensitive facilities, and the locations of soldiers’ gatherings and the number of soldiers gathered before carrying out such a successful operation?”
What increases the sensitivity and importance of this operation, as Mufarja says, is that it “comes a few hours after the occupation boasted and announced the installation of a 4th American air defense system, which was supposed to increase the possibility of intercepting missiles and drones launched from Lebanon, or even from neighboring countries, and this in itself, is another failure that will cast a negative shadow on the occupation.”
Mufarja pointed out that this strike “comes as a continuation and culmination of a series of previous strikes over several days that witnessed a noticeable improvement in Hezbollah’s military performance and a huge number of missiles and drones launched towards northern cities, despite the occupation’s boasting and claim that it was able to eliminate a large part of Hezbollah’s military force.”
The Israeli media reported on Sunday evening that “about 67 soldiers were injured as a result of a drone strike near the town of Binyamina, within the city of Haifa.”
Haaretz stated 4 of the injured are in critical condition, and 5 of them are in serious condition.
The rescue services of the Red Star of David organization reported that no sirens were activated in the area that was hit.
The official channel of the Israeli army on Telegram quoted the military spokesman as saying that the air force “intercepted a drone in the disputed maritime space that was launched from Lebanese territory.”
Al-Jazeera satellite channel quoted a leading source in the Lebanese Hezbollah as saying that “the party attacked a camp belonging to the Golani Brigade in Binyamina, south of Haifa, in northern occupied Palestine, with a squadron of suicide drones,” as reported in Quds Press.
