Israeli military operations intensified overnight, resulting in at least 14 deaths across Gaza, according to hospital sources.
In northern Gaza’s as-Saftawi area, an airstrike on the Osama bin Zaid School, a shelter for displaced Palestinians, killed eight people, including two children and a woman.
In southern Gaza, an attack on tents in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis, claimed four lives, with Nasser Hospital confirming the casualties.
Another strike on a school northwest of Gaza City killed two and injured others, while shelling in Jabalia al-Balad wounded eight.
The Israeli army threatened to attack and issued a mandatory evacuation order for central Gaza residents, targeting towns like Nuseirat, Al-Zahra, and Al-Mughraqa.
Army spokesperson Avichay Adraee labeled these areas “dangerous conflict zones,” ordering relocation to al-Mawasi in the south, which he claims a "safe" zone.
The order, accompanied by a map marking evacuation areas, follows a pattern of forced displacement since October 7, 2023, affecting over 90% of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents, many displaced multiple times.
Israeli forces also fired on aid seekers near the Netzarim distribution center in central Gaza, wounding at least 10, according to al-Awda Hospital.
The assault on al-Mawasi included a tent housing the Abu Taima family, highlighting the targeting of civilian shelters.
These attacks, part of a broader military campaign, have drawn criticism for their impact on displaced populations seeking refuge in schools and tents across the enclave.
