Missiles struck Gaza City and Deir al‑Balah on Tuesday evening, with footage showing flames and thick smoke rising into the night sky.
Residents said the strikes followed an evacuation warning from the Israeli military; people near Al‑Muttaqin Mosque emptied tents before later returning to inspect damage. No immediate casualties were reported, and strikes have continued despite a fragile ceasefire that began in October.
Video from Gaza City captured missiles striking parts of the city on Tuesday evening, sending flames and thick plumes of smoke into the night sky. Residents said the strikes followed an evacuation warning issued by the Israeli military.
The strikes struck targets in Gaza City and Deir al‑Balah. No casualties were reported immediately. People living near Al‑Muttaqin Mosque said they evacuated nearby tents after receiving the warning and later returned to inspect the damage.
Witnesses described scenes of panic before the attack and small groups returning at dawn to assess damage to tents and nearby structures. Local sources emphasized the uncertainty residents face as strikes continue across the Gaza Strip.
Resident: "We left our tents when we were told to evacuate, then came back to see what was left."
These strikes have persisted despite a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas that took effect in October. Humanitarian and security conditions in the enclave remain precarious as residents attempt to navigate repeated warnings and sporadic attacks.
