At least 22 Palestinians were killed in a shelling attack near the Gaza office of the Red Cross, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The attack also resulted in the destruction of the ICRC office, which is located in an area where hundreds of displaced Palestinians are living in tents.
The health ministry in Gaza, which is controlled by Hamas, reported that 25 people were killed and 50 others were injured in the shelling. The ministry attributed the attack to Israel and stated that the shelling specifically targeted the tents of displaced individuals in the al-Mawasi area, near the ICRC base.
The Israeli military has stated that the report is currently under review. The incident adds to the escalating violence in the region, with ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
