An Israeli airstrike near a mosque in Gaza has resulted in the deaths of at least five Palestinians, among them three children, according to local medical sources. The attack, which occurred during a period of heightened tensions, has drawn international condemnation.
Witnesses reported that the strike targeted an area close to a mosque at the time of evening prayers, causing panic and chaos. Rescue workers rushed to the scene, pulling bodies from the rubble and transporting the wounded to nearby hospitals.
The Israeli military has not yet commented on the incident. However, such strikes are often justified as targeting militant infrastructure. Local officials, however, emphasize the civilian toll, urging for restraint and adherence to international law.
